Nashville from Birmingham, Oct 23–25: $1,453 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- $524 per person, $103 below the typical fare on this route
- Breakfast included at Best Western Plus, rated 8.1 from 1,350 reviews
- Highs of 62–72°F with rain chances of 22% or less
The catch: The 1-stop fare takes 44h 25m round trip for a 183-mile trip, landing Saturday at 1:29 PM and getting you home Monday at 3:48 PM.
Worth it if you can switch to the Southwest nonstop; skip this 1-stop fare if you want a full weekend in Nashville.
Not worth it this week: the trip comes to $1,453 for two, with flights at $1,048 plus 2 nights at Best Western Plus Nashville Airport Hotel - BNA at $405, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total. It runs Oct 23–25, 2026 on MX + B6 with 1 stop and 44h 25m of travel round trip, so you land Saturday at 1:29 PM and leave Sunday at 11:44 AM.

Why now
At $524 per person, the fare is $103 below the typical fare on this route, 16% under, and it's the lowest we've seen in 30 days across 7 checks. On price alone, it holds up. The problem is the schedule. You leave Birmingham Friday, Oct 23 at 9:08 PM and reach Nashville Saturday at 1:29 PM. The return leaves Sunday at 11:44 AM and lands Monday, Oct 26 at 3:48 PM. That's less than a day in Music City for a 183-mile trip. The weather works for a city weekend, with highs of 62–72°F and rain chances between 9% and 22%. If you're set on this weekend, the Southwest nonstop leaves Friday at 8:20 AM, takes 65 minutes and costs $627 per person, which matches the typical fare. Otherwise, we'd wait for a better schedule.
The kind of trip this is
This is a music-and-food city weekend for two: honky-tonks with live bands from noon, hot chicken, a songwriter round and a show at the Ryman. It suits couples or friends who like a late night and a slow morning. The pace is quick, so travel time matters a lot here. On a 2-night trip, a long day in transit eats most of the weekend.

Sonesta Select Nashville Airport Suites, our budget pick, is $460 for the stay, or $230 a night. It's rated 8.7 from 2,183 reviews and includes breakfast in a Two Doubles Suite. The Gilmore, an AvantStay Hotel is the top rated at 9.2 from 346 reviews, $1,037 for the stay ($519 a night), room only. None of the three offers free cancellation.
