We've been doing this for years, so we know a couple ways to find the best price on your flight to Des Moines. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a little know-how.
What is the cheapest day to fly?
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.

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.
Why travel during the off-peak season?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most people aren't traveling to certain locations. So when it's cold, most people head off to warmer climates like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like the birds (they had it figured out). But in the summer, you'll find that Europe is where it's at. If you want lower airfare and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.

Airline carriers change their rates often. If you find the price you like, then get it! You're not the only vacation-hungry person searching for an amazing price on a flight from Washington to Des Moines. You could miss your chance to get the flight and the time you want.
