Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Des Moines Intl. Airport to SLE last minute?
Being spontaneous is a great way to travel around, but it's not necessarily the best way to grab a cheap fare. Think about booking your Des Moines Intl. Airport to SLE journey in advance rather than leaving it to 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. Leave your spontaneous side for when you're discovering SLE!

With Salem, OR (SLE-McNary Field), Portland Intl. Airport (PDX) and Mahlon Sweet Field Airport (EUG) to select from, getting from Des Moines to Salem is a snap.
