Should I book during early bird season?

Travel companies release their specials on a sliding scale, incentivising customers to organise and financially commit to their arrangements in advance.  So, this means the earlier you book, the greater the choice and the bigger savings as over time they either sell out or the savings are reduced. If you have decided on your travel plans then there are definately signficant savings for you to take advantage of during early bird season.
