Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from DSM to University Park Airport last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a great way to travel around, but it isn't necessarily the ideal way to find a bargain plane ticket. It's better to book your Des Moines Intl.

Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Leave your spontaneity for when you arrive at your destination!
