Why now
At $323 per person round trip, or $646 for two, this fare is $37 below the typical fare on this route, which our earlier checks put at $360. That's 10% under, and it carries a Lowest in 30 days badge. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $323 to $433, so this one sits at the bottom of the range. The flight is nonstop on Southwest. It leaves FLL on Friday, Oct 23 at 6:50 PM and lands in Nashville at 8:10 PM local time. Late October means cool air after Florida: highs of 62°F Friday, 66°F Saturday and 72°F Sunday, with rain chances between 9% and 22%. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change. Put this weekend toward live music, hot chicken and two late nights on Broadway.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around music and food. Two nights gives you enough time for a honky-tonk crawl, a show and a hot chicken run, and Sunday stays loose. It suits couples and groups of friends, bachelorette crews included, who like late evenings and walking from bar to bar. Days are easy and nights get loud. Pack a jacket, since lows dip to 44°F.
