Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) to DSM last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a rewarding way to travel around, but it isn't necessarily the best way to find a bargain plane ticket. It's better to book your Truax Field to Des Moines Intl. Airport journey well ahead of time 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. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you're exploring Des Moines Intl. Airport!

There are two options when jetting from Madison to Des Moines — Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) and Marshalltown, IA (MIW-Marshalltown Municipal). If you land at Des Moines Intl.
