Nashville from Grand Rapids, 23 – 25 Oct: £920 for two, all in

The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Allegiant nonstop, 1h 36m, landing in Nashville at 6:50 AM Friday
- $383 per person, $24 below the typical fare on this route
- Highs of 76°F and 77°F Friday and Saturday, 4% and 8% rain
The catch: The best-value hotel is by the airport, not downtown, and a checked bag runs about $200 for two, which isn't in the total.
Worth it if you want a music-and-food weekend on a short nonstop; skip it if you need to sleep steps from Broadway on this budget.
Worth it for the two of you: a Nashville weekend for $1,221 total. That covers Allegiant flights at $766, the hotel at $394 and $61 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. You'd fly Friday, Oct 23 and come back Sunday, Oct 25, 2026 (2 nights), and the flight is a 1h 36m nonstop.

Why now
The fare is $383 per person, which is $24 below the typical fare on this route. That's 6% under the $407 median of our earlier checks. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $383 to $722, and this was the only nonstop. It takes 1h 36m, so you'd land at 6:50 AM Friday with the whole day ahead of you. The forecast shows highs of 76°F Friday and 77°F Saturday, with a 4% and 8% chance of rain. Sunday cools to 69°F and the rain chance rises to 22%, so plan a Sunday you can spend indoors. This is a long weekend that runs on live music, hot chicken and walking around. Prices are all-in as we found them on Oct 15 and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around music and food. Live bands play from noon in the Broadway honky-tonks, and evenings go to songwriter rounds and hot chicken. It suits couples and friends who want two full days and don't mind a busy Saturday night. The pace is quick, with lots of walking between venues and late nights out. On a short trip like this, staying in instead is a wasted night.
