Should I wait until Black Friday for buying my plane tickets for December

Accepted answer

I'd say buy your tickets as soon as you are sure you want to travel on that day.

While sometimes prices drop dramatically, most of the time they drop only a bit and the early buyers are getting better prices.
I have no experience in South America, but as you need to travel to those events, I would not trust there to be cheap tickets.

If the price drops rapidly, it can be risky to wait till less than a week before your flight. After all, you may end up paying even more, but it's your choice.

A good idea is to create price alerts on a few websites like Google Flights and Skyscanner and buy the tickets immediately when the price starts dropping/when you see they are at a reasonable or average price, you don't know what could happen.
