</div>Check out Allegiant. They have flights from DSM to Las Vegas,<br>
Orlando, and a couple of other cities for pretty cheap. I don't think<br>
that their fares show up on any of the major flight booking sites, you<br>
have to go to their web site directly. I flew on Allegiant to Orlando<br>
last November and was extremely happy that I didn't have to have a<br>
layover. Every other carrier was more expensive and had at least one<br>
layover.<br>

of is the fees. They charge you to do your seat selection online. If
you show up early enough at the airport, it doesn't matter too much.
Those who select their seats online do get first boarding. Allegiant runs specials periodically. I think the current special is if you book a hotel stay in Vegas through them, someone else can fly with you for free.<br>
