Nashville from Minneapolis, Oct 30–Nov 1: $954 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Sun Country nonstop, 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: A checked bag 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 nonstop; 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 nonstop 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; a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $300 per person, the Sun Country nonstop 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 waiting in line for hot chicken. There's no time change 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 loose: a museum or the Parthenon in the afternoon, then hot chicken, then live bands on Broadway, which start at noon and run late. Lower Broadway is fast and social. Midtown is an easier base when you need a break. It suits people who like crowds and live music more than quiet.
