This is my favorite time of the year. The leaves are colorful, the air is crisp in the morning, there are football games on the telly, and flights to Europe are ridiculously cheap. Take note, my friends. If you ever want to travel to Europe and not fight the crowds or pay out the nose for an airplane ticket, travel in Autumn.

Delta currently has a sale on flights to Germany, Italy, England and other parts of Europe that will knock your socks off (funny expression, that one). For example, you can fly from New York to Frankfurt for less than $300. Amazing. Frankfurt is the hub of the universe when it comes to international flights so once you get there you can pretty much fly to anywhere else in the world. Seriously, walk down the corridors at the Frankfurt airport and you will see flights for countries that you thought only existed in a game of Risk.

But I digress. You come here for cheap ticket links and cheap ticket links we shall give you. Act now because Autumn will not last forever and neither will the cheap arse tickets to Europe.

When the temperatures start to feel crisp, the leaves begin to turn and the kids once again pile on to the yellow school buses, my thoughts inevitable turn to Germany. Autumn is a wonderful time to visit the heart of Europe. The weather is pleasant, the summer tourist season is over, and the beer is plentiful. Yes, let’s talk about the beer.

Oktoberfest is in full swing at the moment, which means unless you book a quick flight on a whim you are likely to miss the 2007 version of the event in Munich. Don’t despair, my friends. Germany has beer all year round. In fact, if you visit the same beer halls in Munich in, say, November, not only will you have less people bumping into you, but you will find the beer prices to be cheaper. And, yes, the beer will taste just as good a few months from now as it will right now.

If you are looking for cheap flights to Germany this fall or any time of the year, you might want to check out the deals on Condor. Their advertised rates on flights to Germany are among the most competitive you’ll find on the Web.

The person who invented Oktoberfest should be given a medal of honor. The concept of holding a festival outdoors in Germany at the beginning of autumn with the focus of the event being beer is nothing short of brilliant. I’m not alone in this assessment. Every year around six million people visit the 42-hectare large Theresienwiese in Munich to take part in the festivities. Six million people can’t be wrong.

What makes Oktoberfest so special is that if feels like a festival. The beer flows freely but the atmosphere of the event is so upbeat that it people who normally get out of hand when they drink will become your new best friend. For those who aren’t into consuming barley and hops, the festival features traditional German grub and a wide array of entertainment.

In 2007, Oktoberfest will be held from September 22 until October 7. This means that now is the optimal time to secure your airline tickets and to plan your trip. Travelocity has a deal on round-trip flights to Germany that start at just $512.50. If that is too steep for your blood, you could always search for cheaper flights to neighboring countries like France, Italy or the Austria and then hop on a Eurail train to Munich.

Modern Germany. The mere term conjures up efficiency, order and precision. Germany is a nation built on engineering and the country has been engineered to run like a well oiled machine. On the surface, this stereotype might seem inescapable while you are in the country. But once you spend time there you will find out that even in the most orderly of places, chaos and inefficiencies can break out. In most places experiencing this is a hassle while you travel. In Germany it is a relief. It is a sign of normalcy.

Order or chaos, Germany is a fabulous country to visit. Its regions are diverse and its population is becoming increasingly varied too. Modern Germany is still easy to navigate, but if you look a little below the surface you’ll find an edge that didn’t use to be there. It is a combination of social change and societal attitude. It is something that isn’t talked about much but it can be palpably felt.

You can experience this for yourself by hopping on one of the great deals Condor has on flights from Las Vegas to Frankfurt. Could two cities be more different? That is what makes the world fun.

In this mixed up, mumbled up, globalized world of ours, it only makes sense that an airline from India has the best deal on flights from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany. Air India is starting to become a player on the global air carrier scene and that is good news for bargain travelers. The airline currently is dishing out flights from the American heartland to the middle of Europe for less than what it costs to fly coast-to-coast in the United States.

Cheap flights to Frankfurt are an absolute score. Not only can you fly there and travel throughout Europe, but because it is such an international hub you can fly there and then fly to just about anywhere else in the world. Forget the United Nations, the Frankfurt International Airport is where nations come together. Walk down the terminals and you will hear just about every language spoken in the world. You will also see flights to places you don’t even know exist. If you want to learn geography, spend a few hours layover in Frankfurt.

The Chicago to Frankfurt deal is good for a limited time. You need to book through Priceline before January 25, 2007 and depart before March 31, 2007.

Hopefully we’ll be hearing about more great offers from Air India in the future.

Someone must have slipped some happy pills in the coffee of the United Airlines executives because they are doing their best to make the world a happier, more smiley place. The airline has some seriously good deals on international flights with some especially tasty prices on flights to Mexico, Germany and Puerto Rico.

How tasty? Try finding a cheaper flight than the one from Indianapolis to Cancun, Mexico for $196 round-trip. That is crazy talk. Makes me almost want to move to Indy.

The Mexican good times can also be found in Chicago where flights to Mexico City are being offered for less than $300 and in Sacramento where you can fly to Los Cabos for $202 round-trip.

The party continues with all kinds of good prices on flights to Germany. There is New York to Munich for $328, Philly to Berlin for $319 and Pittsburg to Frankfurt for the incredible rate of $301. Sprechen Sie Savings?

For my friends keeping it real in the 503 area code, you need to get yourself over to Priceline and snag one of these flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico from Portland for $296. You know that offers like these won’t last so get yourself into gear and purchase your flights before January 9, 2007 or before those happy pills wear off.

It is infinitely interesting and confusing how the airline industry works. A few months back I couldn’t walk down the street without tripping over a great deal on cheap tickets to Europe. But then the proverbial well ran dry and the prices on flights to the Old Continent soared. Fortunately, I am here to report that the tide has turned again and travelers wishing to explore Europe in the coming months have a reason to jump for joy. Go ahead, jump. No one is watching you.

Now that you have gotten your exercise for the week, let me explain why you should be so happy at this precise moment in time. Continental Airlines has thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of the airlines by offering flights to Germany from the United States that are so low you might just want to take a job in Frankfurt and commute there by plane every day. I’m talking round-trip airfare from placed like Albany, Austin and Detroit to Germany for less than $400. You might find such prices on flights to London from time to time, but rarely do you see such good prices on tickets to mainland Europe. This offer surely won’t last for long so book soon, book often.

While you have Germany on your mind, do yourself a favor and check out the Germany Travel Guide.

I had the fortune of spending some time in Germany this summer for the soccer World Cup and I absolutely loved the place. One of the coolest cities I visited was Hamburg. It is located on one of the busiest harbors in Europe and is one of Germany’s wealthiest cities. While the downtown area is lovely and there are some stunning parks throughout the city, no trip to Hamburg is complete without a visit to its Red Light District. The seedy part of town is actually not that seedy. It claims to be the safest district in the city and given the number of police I saw milling around there I can understand why. It is worth a look even if you are appalled by that sort of thing.

Travelocity is offering up some really cheap flights from New York to Hamburg, starting at just $249. With the money you save, you’ll be able to deal with the fact that the dollar sucks against the euro these days. Germany is expensive but it is worth a trip and Hamburg is as good a place as any to start your adventure.

Tickets must be purchased by October 15, 2006 and outbound travel is valid October 29 through December 13, 2006. You can always find the best deals on flights to Germany and elsewhere right here.
