Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) to Merced Regional Airport last minute?
Booking your journey from Des Moines Intl. Airport (DSM) to Merced Regional Airport at the last minute could save you a pretty penny if you luck out and find an awesome deal. However, tickets usually don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked up or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you don't want to risk it, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. It's worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
