Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) to DSM last minute?
Booking your journey from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) to DSM at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you get lucky and find a bargain. However, tickets don't typically get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather play it safe, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.

There are two options when jetting from Santa Barbara to Des Moines — Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) and Marshalltown, IA (MIW-Marshalltown Municipal). If you arrive at Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) you'll be around 6 kilometers southwest of the heart of Des Moines. Make a beeline for your hotel, then venture out and explore your new surroundings. Iowa State Fairgrounds and Blank Park Zoo are just two of this city's popular attractions.
