Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from DSM to Bowman Field Airport (LOU) last minute?
Booking your flight from Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) to Bowman Field at the last minute could save you some dough if you luck out and find a bargain. However, tickets don't usually get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you hold off, flights could also be sold out or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of when you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
What airports do you fly into for Louisville from Des Moines?
Bowman Field Airport (LOU), Louisville Intl. Airport (SDF) and Bardstown, KY (BRY-Samuels Field) are your options when jetting off from Des Moines to Louisville. Roughly 8 kilometers southeast of the heart of Louisville, Bowman Field Airport (LOU) is the city's main hub. Take into account things like flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before choosing an airport. Churchill Downs and KFC Yum Center are a couple of great attractions to put on your to-do list when you reach your destination.
Can I change the date of my flight from DSM to Bowman Field?
Sometimes life gets in the way of plans, so Expedia is here to help make amending your trip as easy as possible. To start, access your DSM to LOU itinerary through the Expedia Trips portal and browse the ticket conditions and rules about what changes you can make. If you booked your ticket in the last 24 hours, some airlines will let you cancel for free and book new flights. If you bought your fare more than 24 hours ago, connect with us through our Customer Service portal so we can help you further.
