Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from DSM to GLS last minute?
When it's time to book your flights, it's always better to be prepared. While it's possible to score a last-minute deal on a Des Moines Intl. Airport to GLS flight, fares usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to book a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days in advance.
