We are planning our trip to United Kingdom in September 2019. I have found flights for $573. round trip. Should we book now or wait a month? I want to book now but my husband thinks it is too soon. We want flights with a checked bag and ability to choose seats. I hate that they changed their pricing since we last went in 2017.

that sounds a reasonable price for a extremely popular place with flights from the USA

The time to book is when you have found a fare that works for you. There's no secret website or formula or day of the week or time to book, or any way to know if or when fares will go up or down (hint: they go up and down all the time, for no reasons that make sense to humans).
That looks like a pretty good price to me (although I don't think it's wise to shop for anything, including airfares, by only looking at the price - IMHO it's worth considering what the flight will be like, seat comfort, schedule, itinerary, etc. - sure, price should be a factor in the mix, but not the only factor you look at...but plenty of people never look at anything other than the price, then complain loudly about how awful air travel has become after having a miserable experience so...YMMV).

We booked it! I like it because besides the price, it is a non-stop flight. Now I can start deciding on our itinerary.
