When to book shipping
My girlfriend and I are currently in the process of planning our overland trip to Australia next year but there are a few places where we need/want to frieght our bike rather than riding it. These are primarily from Turkey to India (my girlfriend isn't so keen on riding through Pakistan or Iran), then we need to transport from India (or Nepal) to Bangkok and then from SE Asia (Singapore or Malaysia) to Sydney.
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether we should try and get these flights booked as early as possible or leave it until a few weeks before when we are in / close to the country?
The way I see it the first option might get us a slight reduction in price but ties us down to be in a place on a particular date which means we may have to rush to get there or miss the flight. But the second option allows us to book when necessary but it might cost more. Any helpful hints or tips would be great.
