The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Fare is $467 per person, $49 below the typical fare on this route
- Highs 74–77°F with a 2–9% rain chance all weekend
- Breakfast and free cancellation at the 7.9-rated Country Inn & Suites
The catch: The Frontier outbound has 1 stop and takes 21h 19m, landing Saturday at 2:19 PM, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if a Saturday-and-Sunday music weekend at a below-typical fare suits you; skip it if Friday night on Broadway is the whole point.
Worth it if you can handle a long trip there: $1,389 for two, which is the Frontier flights at $934 plus 2 nights at Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Nashville Airport East, TN at $394 and its $61 property fee, taxes and fees included. It's Oct 23–25, 2026, 2 nights, on Frontier with 1 stop, and the outbound takes 21h 19m. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $467 per person, the Frontier fare is $49 below the typical fare on this route. That's 9% under the $516 per person we usually saw in earlier checks. Across 12 offers we saw fares from $467 to $594 per person. The forecast for Oct 23–25 is overcast, with highs of 74–77°F, lows of 59–60°F and a 2–9% chance of rain, so it's good walking weather for Broadway and Centennial Park. Here's the heads-up: this fare leaves DCA Friday at 6:00 PM and doesn't land at BNA until Saturday at 2:19 PM, so you'll pay for a first night in the room you won't use. If that's a dealbreaker, we also found an American nonstop at 10:40 AM that takes 2h 10m, at $555 per person or $1,110 for two. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around live music and food: honky-tonks, a show at the Ryman, hot chicken and a songwriter round. It suits couples or two friends who like late nights and grazing through the day. Since the outbound lands Saturday afternoon, the pace is tight: one full evening and a Sunday. Pick two or three things you really want and let the rest go.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
For some readers it is. The fare is $49 per person below typical and the weather looks mild, but the outbound takes 21h 19m with 1 stop, so you lose Friday night and Saturday morning.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,389 for two, all in: $934 for the Frontier flights, $394 for 2 nights at Country Inn & Suites and the $61 property fee, taxes and fees included. Checked bags (about $240 for two) and spending money aren't included.
Is there a faster flight?
Yes. We found an American nonstop that leaves at 10:40 AM Friday and lands at 11:50 AM, 2h 10m in total. It was $555 per person, or $1,110 for two, when we checked.
What is the weather like?
The forecast is overcast all three days, with highs of 74–77°F, lows of 59–60°F and a 2–9% chance of rain.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip from Washington, DC, you'll pay in US dollars, and Nashville is 1 hour behind.
Is 2 nights enough?
With the Frontier fare, you really get Saturday evening and Sunday. That's enough time for Broadway, one show and hot chicken. If you want two full evenings, the nonstop is the better fit.
