The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Fare $142 below the typical fare on this route, 25% under
- Breakfast included at a hotel rated 8.1 from 1,349 reviews
- Highs of 80°F and 83°F Friday and Saturday, rain chance 9–15%
The catch: The Frontier fare has one stop and takes 15h 41m, landing Saturday at 8:53 AM, so you won't get much use out of Friday's hotel night.
Worth it if you want a Saturday on Broadway for less and can sleep through a layover; skip it if Friday night in Nashville matters.
Worth it if you can handle an overnight connection: $1,265 for two, with the Frontier flights at $860 plus 2 nights at Best Western Plus Nashville Airport Hotel - BNA at $405, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Oct 23–25, 2026, and it isn't nonstop: the one-stop flight leaves Columbus at 6:12 PM Friday and lands at 8:53 AM Saturday, 15h 41m in all. Checked bags and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
The fare is $430 per person, $142 below the typical fare on this route, and it carries a Lowest in 30 days badge across 12 checks. That brings the whole weekend to $1,265 for two, covering flights and two nights at a hotel with breakfast, taxes and fees included. Checked bags, any resort fees and spending money are extra. Late October in Nashville looks mild: overcast with highs of 80°F Friday and 83°F Saturday, then 72°F and a 20% chance of drizzle Sunday. That's good walking weather for Broadway and Centennial Park. If the overnight connection is a dealbreaker, the Southwest nonstop takes 1h 30m but costs $737 per person, or $1,474 for two in flights alone. These prices were all-in when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a music-and-food city weekend: honky-tonks from midday, hot chicken and a show at the Ryman or the Opry. It suits a couple or two friends who'd pick live music and late nights over quiet. Since you land Saturday morning, the pace is one full Saturday and an easy Sunday, so save the big night out for Saturday.

Quality Inn Nashville - Opryland Area costs $425 for the stay ($213 a night) and is rated 8 from 1,008 reviews. It includes breakfast and free cancellation, so it's the flexible choice.

None of the three is listed in Downtown / Lower Broadway, where the honky-tonks, the Ryman and the Country Music Hall of Fame are all walkable, so plan on rides in for the evenings.

Is there a nonstop?
Yes. Southwest flies nonstop in 1h 30m, leaving at 9:00 PM Friday and landing at 9:30 PM. It costs $737 per person, or $1,474 for two in flights alone, compared with $860 for two on Frontier.
