Usually airlines have a certain price for a route and then will occasionally discount the tickets.  I would just check every couple of days (or subscribe via email to a site that will tell you when fares go lower) and then buy about a month in advance if no deal emerges (unless its a busy time you intend to fly in which case you might want to buy ASAP).
