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. Fares are $1 USD/hour. Security usually leaves you alone, as long as you keep a low profile. You can take good photos of aircraft landing on both runways 23 and 31.

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. Fares are $1 USD/hour. Security usually leaves you alone, as long as you keep a low profile. I've never been approached by security here. At most times, you would be the only spotter at this place.
