Plane Tickets (US)
Im planning on going to north carolina(greensboro) from new jersey(newark) in october to visit some old friends from school. When is the best time to order tickets? Last month they were around $212, but I just checked now and its around $179. I've never bought airline tickets, hell i've only been on a plane 3 times. How early should I buy?

I have always thought the earliest you buy the cheaper it gets, have you tried different airlines? and how about trying to schedule the flight on weekdays/weekends....

Or you can spend 6 hours driving =)
EDIT
Oh yea, forgot to mention this:
Why in gods name would you wish to come to NC willingly? I should probably check how far greensboro is from where I live ( Apex ) I think they are both in Wake County.

Strangely enough, that isn't always the case, sometimes they do get more expensive, but then may drop if the flight doesn't fill, just so that they aren't empty seat/miles. It's a crap shoot though. Look for specials, fly a regional airline, and not one of the "bigguns" (Like American, Delta, United)....Think Southwest, Jet Blue, or even Frontier.

I have no car, and its more like 10 hours My girlfriend goes to wake forest, and my friend goes to guilford. My grandparents also live in greensboro so Im just planning on visiting them all.
I thought it was earliest the best, but continental has dropped their price since a few weeks ago. heh well then i guess now's the time to buy.

am I supposed to be coherent in this post or in the next?
justin case, let me post the complete lyrics of chiquitita from ABBA
Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong
You’re enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I’m the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love’s a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
