One of the deciding factors here is whether you are travelling in a high demand peak period for the chosen destination, or in a period when demand is low and air travel business is slack. In a peak period flights will fill up early and airline companies will progressively up their prices, so one should buy two to three months early. During a slack period airline companies are often left with empty seats which they rather fill at reduced prices than leaving them empty. Hence the term "last minute deal".
