The parking garage at DSM gives you a view of most of the airport. You can walk from the North side to the South side, depending on where the traffic is approaching and departing. Fees are $1 USD/hour. Security usually leaves you alone, because this is the place they will refer you to go and they allow photography here. At most times, you would be the only spotter at this place. You can take good photos of aircraft landing on both runways 23 and 31, as well as departures from runways 5 and 13. Park on the lowest level, and take the elevator, which is near the terminal drop-off area, or drive to the top. | The parking garage at DSM gives you a view of most of the airport.

Great location to catch airplanes seconds away from landing on runway 23. Located on Fluer Drive on the Northeast side of the airport. I recomend using a smaller lens, due to you being so close to the aircraft. The link below will show you a photo from this location. | Great location to catch airplanes seconds away from landing on runway 23. Located on Fluer Drive on the Northeast side of the airport.
