What is the best way to book a trip to Oktoberfest?

Travel Tips
As stated in some of the more intelligent answers, the Oktober Fest in Munich for 2006 is over(it ended on the 3rd of Oktober).
Check the official website;
www.oktoberfest.de(in German or English) for history and other info like the dates for 2007.
I have been going to the Oktober Fest in Munich for 18 years. I have never used a travel agent.
If you want someone else to do all the organizing then a travel agent is the best way to go. But, when they advertise a reserved table in a beer tent; CHECK the fine print on which day that will be and how they will arrange it. I could write pages about this and I am sure you will get some interesting answers on this subject.
Do you want to spend a day at the fest, or a whole week? I do 2-3 days, but I know some die hards who go every day. Munich is a great city and you can spend a week there no problem. If you have never been to Germany(I have lived here 19 years) then a travel agency would be your best bet.

Others
Be sober when you do it.
whats she talking about get drunk and you will wake up there its like disneyland except everyones a lot less cracked up
I beleive it's over for this year; I hear the best time to go is actually in late September (strangely enough; it's the celebration before October, as I understand it).

if you don't like to organize travel details, find a good travel agent.

otherwise, there are lots of great websites for air, accomodations and ground travel; all it takes is time, effort and interest.
on a plane
You have to book this in advance or you will not find any decent flight prices. It is all based on availability.

I strongly advice to go through a good travel professional.
