Overall it was good on the flight. Before the flight with checking the bag at JFK was a nightmare. It took way too long and the Delta concierge was very rude to everyone. But other than that it was fine.

There are plenty of other cultural attractions as well.

[h2]When is the best time to visit Des Moines (US, IA)?[/h2]
If you are seeking a cultural holiday, then there is really no bad time to go to Des Moines. For outdoor activities, summer is the best time to visit (between June and September), although there are snow-based activities available as well. A trip in June may balance lower prices with outdoor festivals and good conditions for hiking and boating.
Renting a car provides great flexibility (but beware of icy conditions during the winter). The city is known to be quite cycle-friendly as well, and the bus network will let you take your bikes on board, making it possible to access most parts of town without a rental car. Taxis are always available to book, but don’t rely on being able to hail them.
