How do you get the best deal on a flight from DSM to ILG?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, so we know a couple ways to find the best price on your flight to Philadelphia. You'll make spending less look so very good with a few simple tips and tricks.

What is the cheapest day to fly?

Going with the flow can pay dividends when it comes to getting an affordable flight. Those middle children of the work week, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next, Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most like to come back on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.

Can staying the weekend get me a cheaper ticket?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to DSM can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less elastic itineraries, so that means savings for you. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.

What are shoulder seasons?

Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most vacationers aren't traveling to certain locations. So when it is cold, most people head to warmer climates like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like the birds (they had it figured out). But in the summer months, you'll find that Europe is where it's at. You can usually save on your flight when you avoid flying during the peak seasons.

If the price is right, pick it!

Airlines change their rates often. If a price you want pops up, then book it! You're not the only one searching for an amazing deal on a ticket from Des Moines to Philadelphia. You could lose your chance to get the flight and the schedule you want.

Are there any other ways to save?

You won't find out the time and airline until after you book, but it is a risk where you can reap the rewards.
