How do I get the best price on my flight from DSM to QLA?
We've been in the game a long time, which means getting that great deal on a Los Angeles flight is easy-peasy. You'll make spending less look so very good with a little know-how.
Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?
Going with the flow can pay dividends when it comes to getting an affordable flight. Our dear friends, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next in line are Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most like to fly back on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.
Can staying the weekend get me a cheaper ticket?
Spending the weekend at your destination, like Los Angeles, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.
Why travel during the off-peak season?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers aren't going to certain locations. So when it is cold, most people head 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 is really popular. You can usually save on your ticket when you avoid flying during the peak seasons.
Is that the lowest price?
Unsurprisingly, you're not the only person seeking a great rate on a ticket from Des Moines to Los Angeles. You may miss your opportunity to get the flight and the times you need.
Are there any other ways to save?
We think the Hotwire Hot Rate is one of the best deals out there, although we may be slightly biased. You can get one of the best rates on your ticket to Los Angeles from Des Moines. After your purchase, you'll get the time and name of the airline, but if you're not on a set schedule, you can save big on your flight.
