Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from DSM to Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport (DET) last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a terrific way to travel the globe, but it isn't always the best way to pick up a cheap fare. Think about booking your Des Moines Intl. Airport to DET journey ahead of time instead of waiting until 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 get to DET!
