How far in advance should I book?
While we can accommodate last-minute requests (even same-day), we recommend booking 24-48 hours in advance for the best aircraft selection and pricing. Peak travel seasons may require earlier booking for popular routes and larger aircraft.
How far do aircraft fly into Des Moines?
The sectors we see here run from 188 km (Omaha) out to 624 km (Tulsa). Anything inside that band is a nonstop for a midsize cabin or bigger; beyond it the aircraft needs either a bigger tank or a technical stop, which adds an hour and landing fees.
