Cheaper flight are usually the non-refundable ones, so it surely pays out to be committed to you flight once you book it.

Usually I don't have the luxury of using a 2-3 day travel window but that usually saves you some money as well. Then when I call the corporate travel agent I'm telling them what flight and sometimes even which seat to book for me. Sometimes it pays to make a reservation at a more expensive hotel if it means you won't need a rental car, and it pays to call ahead and ask if they have an airport shuttle service. I also look for hotels with a continental breakfast to save time and money in the mornings.

It seems to depend on the destination. Another important thing to consider is the actual airport of arrival and departure. Nearby regional airports can often be cheaper than major airport. ie. fly into Ontario California instead of LAX. I travel often and have found the whole booking early thing is not always true.
