Just yesterday I was looking up flights to Brisbane in August, and i was getting them for return at ~$130. Today they're up to $200+
Should I wait? Or will it continue to go up?
Flights to Brisbane in August. Should I wait?

Almost certainly will. Airline algorithms. Set promo seats gone, they’ll come back closer to the date of travel.
OP, when it goes down to $130 return again, hit the trigger on it ASAP.
generally prices go up as you get closer to the time, especially if its during a popular period.
Some cost saving techniques:
1. If you don't mind flying jetstar, find a tiger airways flight that has a matching (within +/- 1 hour) jetstar flight, and get them to price-beat it (just google for how). I was able to get flights recently for $73 return syd->bris->syd using this method.
2. If you're a real tightarse, and don't mind an extra 1.5 to 2 hours of travel, you could get a flight to gold coast, then take bus+tram+train into Brisbane (about $15), as sometimes the syd/mel -> gc flights are cheaper than brisbane. Not something I'd really recommend, but a true ozbargainer would consider it, so there it is.what about ticket price at counter on same day flight ?
Where u coming from
I assume Melbourne.
Why not Sydney , could be Adelaide. Can't really help the bloke until he tells us
Their profile says their location is Melbourne.
From Melbourne.
use a vpn to check prices.
wait and try and find somewhere else to go instead
Buy now, not likely to get cheaper from now onwards.
