Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Des Moines Intl. Airport to Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ) last minute?
Booking your journey from DSM to DBQ last minute could save you some dough if you stumble on an amazing deal. However, fares usually don't come down in price closer to the departure date. If you wait around, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you don't want to risk it, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. In fact, Expedia has some of the biggest deals up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
What airports do you fly into for Dubuque from Des Moines?
From Des Moines, you can fly into Dubuque via Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ), Clinton, IA (CWI-Clinton Municipal) and Davenport, IA (DVN-Davenport Municipal). Find out which airport is the best option for you before making your decision. If you decide to land at Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ), it's about 11 kilometers south of the city center. Use the cash you save when booking your seat with Expedia to uncover the city's well-known attractions, such as Q Casino and Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark.
