Why now
At $470 per person, the Frontier fare is $211 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, or 31% less. We checked 12 offers for Oct 23–25, and fares ran from $470 to $681 per person. The $681 one is American's nonstop. For two of you, flights come to $940 all-in, taxes and fees included, as found when we checked. Prices can change. The late October forecast looks mild: 73°F with drizzle on Friday, then overcast highs of 81°F on Saturday and 79°F on Sunday, with rain chances between 13% and 20%. That's good weather for walking between honky-tonks, catching a show at the Ryman and lining up for hot chicken. Our rough budget for two is $1,865. That covers flights, the best-value hotel and $520 of spending money.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around music, food and nightlife. It suits friends on a group trip, a couple who likes live bands, or a bachelorette crew. The pace is late nights and slow mornings. With two nights, you pick one show, one hot chicken stop and a few honky-tonks instead of trying to see it all.
