Cheap Flights to Nashville

Nashville climate

Nashville has a moderate climate without major extremes of temperature characterizing its distinct seasons. An ample annual rainfall keeps things green and clean, but there are enough sunny days in between to keep everyone happy. Summers can be very humid, which pushes up the discomfort index even if temperatures do not hit major highs.

When to fly to Nashville

Peak Season:

The summer months are packed full of Nashville travellers. From June through September, the streets are full, the hotels are booked and the city is in full swing. This means that Nashville flights and hotel accommodations for summer travel need to be booked in advance or you're likely to pay higher prices.

Off Season:

Winter is low tourist season in Nashville, when the cold creeps in and the city stays indoors. If you don't mind the chilly weather, it's possible to find cheap flights to Nashville during the winter months.

Getting around Nashville

Between the buses and trolleys running through the streets of Nashville, you won’t have trouble getting around without a car. Buses run by the Metropolitan Transit Authority rumble over the streets from 5:30am to midnight every day. The Music Valley Express, bus 34, will take you to Opryland from downtown. Catch the express every 40 minutes between 8:15am and 6:15pm. The Lunch Line is a free trolley route that runs on a loop through the city between Second Broadway and Sixth Avenue. Sightseers might want to catch the trolley leaving the Frist Arts Center on Broadway at noon and 2pm. A two-hour tour will take you around the city’s main attractions. There are also several taxi and car rental companies working in the city, but you really only need a car if you’re getting out of town.
