my strategy is often the following when involving intercontinental travel:

a) arrive to attend IEPG Sunday
b) leave sometime on Friday to arrive home on Friday.

Travel is booked 45+ days prior to the meeting, so anything on Friday will just be missed, and I will properly use the WG lists to provide feedback.

In the case of locations in the states, eg: Dallas, I can usually get home the same day and can book much closer to the meeting date and not end up with a rear middle seat impacting QoL.

Of course, this is my own strategy.  I know many people who book early based on upgrades or to get travel authorization for business class seats approved.
