Phoenix (PHX) to Des Moines (DSM)

What was that? A trip to Des Moines! You'll be needing a flight from Phoenix. We suppose you could ride a bike for most of it, but you probably are on a bit of a schedule. Good thing you found us. Hotwire can get you a fabulous rate on your next flight from PHX to DSM.

How can you get a great rate on tickets from Phoenix to Des Moines?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, so we know a few ways to get 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.

Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

It pays to be a weekday warrior. Tuesday and Wednesday typically have the best rates. Next in line are Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most people like to fly back on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.

What's the Saturday night stay rule?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to PHX can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less flexible itineraries, so that means more savings for you. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.

What are shoulder seasons?

Have good weather, will travel. For example, Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are big hits in the summer. Florida, New Orleans, and Southern California are the most popular in springtime. Winter is prime for Mexico and the Caribbean because of its warm weather, as well as ski and snowboard destinations like the Colorado Rockies. During fall, Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and New England draw visitors. If you can plan your trip around these peak seasons, you'll not only save money, but you'll typically avoid the crowds. Win-win in our books.

If the price is right, pick it!

Airlines change their rates by the hour sometimes. If a price you like pops up, then book it. Unsurprisingly, you're not the only vacation-hungry person longing for a terrific rate on a ticket from Phoenix to Des Moines. You could lose your opportunity to get the flight and the time you like.

Are there any other ways to save?

If you prioritize cost over everything else, then the Hotwire Hot Rate is for you. You'll get one of our best rates on a flight from Phoenix (PHX) to Des Moines (DSM). After you book, you'll get the time and name of the airline, but it is a risk where you can reap the rewards.
