Nashville from Minneapolis, 30 Oct – 1 Nov: £720 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Sun Country direct flight, 2h 1m, leaving at 8:05 AM Friday
- $300 per person, $104 below the typical fare on this route
- Breakfast included at an 8.5-rated hotel with 1,014 reviews
The catch: Hold luggage is about $160 for two and isn't in the total, and the best-value hotel doesn't offer free cancellation.
Worth it if you want live music, hot chicken and a short direct flight; skip it if you want warm weather or a quiet weekend.
Worth it for the two of you: $954 for two, all in. That's the Sun Country Airlines direct flight at $600 plus 2 nights at TownePlace Suites by Marriott Nashville Midtown at $306 and $48 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. You fly out Friday, Oct 30 at 8:05 AM and come home Sunday, Nov 1; hold luggage and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $300 per person, the Sun Country direct flight is $104 below the typical fare on this route. That's a 26% gap, and the fare carries a "Lowest in 30 days" flag. We saw 12 fares for these dates, ranging from $300 to $486 per person, so this one sits at the bottom of the range. The flight takes 2h 1m and lands at 10:06 AM, so you get most of Friday in town. For late October, Nashville's typical highs are 62–65°F with lows near 47°F, and skies are usually overcast. That's jacket weather for walking Broadway and queueing for hot chicken. There's no time difference and you don't need a passport, so two nights go a long way. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a music-and-food city weekend for a couple or a small group of friends. The days are relaxed: a museum or the Parthenon in the afternoon, then hot chicken, then live bands on Broadway, which start at noon and go on late. Lower Broadway is fast-paced and sociable. Midtown is an easier base when you need a break. It suits people who like crowds and live music more than peace and quiet.
