How to book the cheapest flight to Iowa?
With Orbitz, you’ll uncover some of the most impressive flight deals around from a wide range of airlines. But if you want to improve your chances of landing cheap flights to Iowa, here are a few pointers to bear in mind:

  • Depending on your departure point, click on the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). In some instances, alternative departure points offer more value for money.
  • Also, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ option to see the airfares on days around your chosen departure. You may be able to find cheaper flight deals if you’re flexible with your plans.
  • You can also use the ‘Show options’ function to filter results for your preferred airline, seating class, and nonstop and refundable flights. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even pick the time of day you’d prefer to fly.
  • The early bird catches the most impressive deals, so book as soon as you know your travel dates. The most affordable airfares are quick to sell out and prices rise as the departure date gets closer.
  • Save big on your trip by combining your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package. Your wallet will thank you.
  • Don’t fly during peak seasons if you can. By avoiding summer, school vacations and other popular dates, you can save plenty on your airfares.

Book your seats to Iowa in January. This is the best month for low airfares, closely followed by February and August. Pick up cheap flights and make your dream journey a reality with Orbitz.

To pick up an unbeatable flight deal, book on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. These are generally the cheapest days of the week to purchase flights to Iowa.

What do I need for the flight to Iowa?
There’s nothing as exciting as flying off to a cool new destination, but it’s wise to be prepared. The following top tips will help get your journey off to an excellent start:

  • Your travel documents are the most important items you’ll need to take on your flight to Iowa. To avoid any issues when checking in, make sure that the personal info on your ticket is correct and matches your government-issued ID.
  • Take some activities to keep you occupied on your journey to Iowa. Magazines, books and electronic gadgets like e-readers and laptops are perfect. Be sure to take a bottle of water as well. Even on short flights, it’s important to stay well-hydrated.
  • It can get cold on the plane. If you’d rather not shiver your way through the flight, layer up.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Iowa?
If you think a first or business-class fare is beyond your reach, think again. Here are some practical tips to help you land a premium flight to Iowa for less:

  • Flexibility is essential. By being open to different travel dates, you’ll have more chances of picking up a great deal on first or business-class airfares.
  • A lot of low-cost airlines these days have excellent business-class seating that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
  • Bid for an upgrade. Some airlines hold online auctions that let you offer a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You can also try upgrading with points earned through a flight loyalty program.
