Whaa?! A trip to Des Moines! You will definitely need a ticket to Des Moines then. We suppose you could ride a bike for most of it, but you probably are on a bit of a schedule. Luckily, you found us. Hotwire can get you a fantastic rate on your ticket from QLA to DSM.

How can you get a great rate on tickets from QLA to DSM?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, which means getting that great deal on a Des Moines flight is easy-peasy. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a few simple tips and tricks.

What is the best day of the week to book a flight?

With the right attitude and flexibility, you can fly for less. Below are the cheapest days to fly:

  • Tuesday and Wednesday—You know how most stores are not crowded midweek? Same thing here. So, get on while the getting is good.
  • Thursday and Saturday—Get a head start on that Friday crowd. This also works on your return flight. Shorten your holiday by a day and increase your savings.
  • Monday through Thursday—If you're flying internationally, deals are often available when departing these days.

What's the Saturday night stay rule?

Spending the weekend at your destination, like Des Moines, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.

What are shoulder seasons?

Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most people aren't flying to certain locations. So when it's chilly, most people head off to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like the birds (they had it figured out). But during the summer, you'll find that Europe gets busy. If you want lower airfare and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.

Jump on that great rate

Unsurprisingly, you're not the only flier waiting an awesome price on a flight from Los Angeles to Des Moines. You may lose your opportunity to get the flight and the time you need.

How else can I save on my flight from Los Angeles to Des Moines?
