Nashville from Jacksonville, Oct 23–25: $1,367 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Frontier fare of $456 per person, $16 under the typical $472
- Highs of 77–78°F, with a 6% rain chance at most
- Breakfast and free cancellation at the 7.9-rated best-value hotel
The catch: The Frontier flight has one stop and takes 5h 36m, and a checked bag is about $240 for two, not in the total.
Worth it if a stop is fine for a $456 fare and live music is the plan; skip it if you want a hotel within walking distance of Broadway.
Worth it if you don't mind a stop: $1,367 for two covers Frontier round-trip flights at $912 and 2 nights at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Nashville Airport East, TN at $394 plus $61 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. You fly Friday, Oct 23 and come home Sunday, Oct 25, 2026. The outbound has one stop and takes 5h 36m, and a checked bag and spending money aren't in the total.

Why now
At $456 per person, the Frontier fare is $16 under the $472 typical for this route, about 3% below the median of our 13 earlier checks. With the best-value hotel added, the trip comes to $1,367 for two, taxes and fees included. A checked bag and spending money are extra. The forecast for Oct 23–25 is the other reason to go: highs of 77–78°F, lows of 56–60°F and a rain chance of 6% or less, so a night walking between the honky-tonks on Lower Broadway and an afternoon in Centennial Park both work. Late October is also well clear of CMA Fest, which fills every hotel in early June. If you'd rather have a shorter travel day, Southwest flies nonstop in 1h 40m, but at $703 per person. For a weekend of music and hot chicken, it's worth it for the two of you.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around music and food: live bands from noon on Broadway, a show at the Ryman or the Opry, hot chicken and a songwriter round. It suits a couple or two friends who like evenings out and don't mind staying near the airport and riding into town. The days are easy and the nights run late.
