Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Will Rogers World Airport (OKC) to Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) last minute?
Booking your trip from OKC to DSM at the last minute could help you save if you stumble on a real steal. However, airfares usually don’t drop in price as the departure date nears. If you hold off, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you’d rather err on the side of caution, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
