Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Blue Grass Airport to Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a rewarding way to explore the world, but it isn't necessarily the ideal way to grab a bargain fare. It's better to book your LEX to DSM trip well in advance instead of leaving it till the last minute. 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 all that spontaneity for when you're exploring DSM!
What airports do you fly into for Des Moines from Lexington?
There are two — Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) and Marshalltown, IA (MIW-Marshalltown Municipal). Both are good options for those traveling from Lexington to Des Moines.
