I am looking for the cheapest flight to get to Oktoberfest from Athens, Greece. I have from Thursday afternoon until Sunday night. Is $350 the cheapest flight that I should expect? Will flights get cheaper or more expensive if I wait? Please help! Thanks :)

Have you looked on Skyscanner, at http://www.skyscanner.com/? Flight prices in Europe go in one direction - up. Not because it's Oktoberfest, but because that's how the fares are structured on budget airlines. They start cheap far in advance, and go up closer to the flight. And they can sell out (particularly for popular destinations, like Munich during Oktoberfest). Oktoberfest is the two weeks at the end of September, ending early in October (the exact dates for 2013 are Saturday, September 21 through Sunday, October 6). So if you have trouble getting flights for your preferred weekend, you could go on the other one.
