Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) to SFO last minute?
Booking your trip from Des Moines Intl. Airport to San Francisco Intl. Airport (SFO) last minute could save you a nice sum if you're lucky enough to find an epic deal.

If you don't want to hedge your bets, book well in advance of your departure date. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
