Hello – I am planning to go to India in late December. I’ve found flights that I like and have the points to book. Is it too early to book or should I just get them to get it out of the way?

It is never too early to book an award ticket to India for December travel. If you see the flights you want, you should immediately book them. I travel from US to India every December and I try to book award tickets around 10 months out. Late December to early January is peak travel time on US-India routes.
What I have experienced over the past 4-5 years is that most of the award flights with decent connections tend to disappear from inventory 8-9 months out!

Booking early with award flights is definitely the way to go; the worst case is that you have to pay a change fee to get the points back
