Where the stars and the regular folks catch flights to and from Music City.

In Short
Four concourses surround the main terminal where flights take off to more than 100 markets with 16 different carriers. Formerly a hub for American Airlines, the terminal's big players are now Southwest Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines. The airport is one of the nation's busiest, and programs like the acclaimed Arts in the Airport, which presents exhibits and live musical performances throughout the terminal, offers visitors a glimpse of Nashville's artistic diversity.

Functional, but sterile

Nashville has a decent airport, but not spectacular. Good access to I-40 and also reasonable costs for parking compared to other airports. Also, the fact that Southwest is a major carrier in the Nashville market makes the flights competitive. Where the airport can improve is more on aesthetics. It really doesn't compare to the ambience and amenities of cities of similiar size -- Cincy, Orlando, etc...

Nashville is a toursim destination and should have a first-rate airport to reflect a first-rate city.

• Pros: Interstate access, reasonable parking
• Cons: long concourses, sterile appearance
