Why now
At $519 per person round trip, or $1,038 for two, the fare is $17 under the $536 median of our earlier checks on this route, about 3% less. That's a small dip, not a steal: checks in the last 30 days went as low as $388, so this is a fair price rather than a rare one. In return you get a mid-October weekend in Nashville with highs of 75°F Friday, 64°F Saturday and 72°F Sunday. It'll be overcast, with a 1–2% chance of rain each day. That's good walking weather for Lower Broadway, the Ryman and Centennial Park, and it's well clear of early June, when CMA Fest fills every hotel. Flights, the best-value hotel and $520 in spending money come to $2,028 for two. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city getaway built around music, food and nightlife. It suits friends planning a group weekend, or a couple who like live bands and late dinners. You set the pace. Two nights is enough for one big night on Broadway, a show, a plate of hot chicken and a slow Sunday morning before the flight home.

Is $519 a good price?
