Airports serving Nashville
Nearest first. Distances are straight-line from the centre of Nashville, which is the fair way to compare airports with each other; the drive is always longer.
| Airport and distance from the centre | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nashville International Airport (BNA) 6 mi (10 km) | Large | About 8 miles southeast of downtown, typically 15 to 25 minutes by car and longer in weekday rush hour. It handles essentially all scheduled service to the city, so it is not really a choice so much as the airport. Rental cars are on site. WeGo's Route 18 bus runs between the airport and the downtown transit centre through the day: cheap and reliable, but slower than a car and it leaves you at the transit centre rather than at your hotel door. |
Nearest airport to each Nashville venue
The busiest venues in and around Nashville, each with its own nearest airport. A stadium in the suburbs is often nearer a different airport than downtown is, so this is the table to book from.
