Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from BKG to Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) last minute?
Booking your flight from Branson Airport (BKG) to Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) last minute could save you a pretty penny if you're lucky to find a real steal. However, tickets usually don't drop in price as the departure date nears. If you hold out, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather not hedge your bets, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Remember that some of the most awesome deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
