Nashville from Richmond, Oct 30–Nov 1: $930 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $288 per person on JetBlue, $266 under the typical fare
- TownePlace Suites: 8.5 from 1,014 reviews, breakfast included
- Highs of 62–65°F for honky-tonks, hot chicken and the Ryman
The catch: The $288 fare has one stop and takes 8h 29m to get there, while the Southwest nonstop takes 1h 50m but costs $416 per person.
Worth it if you'll take a 6:00 AM start and a stop to save on the fare; skip it if travel time matters more than price.
Worth it if you don't mind one stop. It's $930 for two, all in: JetBlue flights at $576, 2 nights at TownePlace Suites by Marriott Nashville Midtown at $306 and $48 in fees paid at the hotel, with taxes and fees included. You fly out at 6:00 AM Friday, Oct 30 with one stop, land in Nashville at 1:29 PM and come home Sunday, Nov 1, 2026.

Why now
At $288 per person, this fare is $266 below the typical fare on this route. That's a 48% gap, and it carries the Lowest in 30 days badge. The 12 fares we saw ran from $288 to $551, so this one sits at the bottom. In late October, Nashville's typical highs are 62–65°F with lows near 47°F and overcast skies. That's light-jacket weather for Lower Broadway at night and easy walking during the day. The CMA Fest crowds that fill every hotel in early June are long gone, and a breakfast-included room comes to $153 a night. It's a two-night city weekend built around live music from noon, hot chicken and a show at the Ryman or the Opry. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
A music-and-food city weekend at an easy pace. Afternoons are for the Country Music Hall of Fame or a walk in Centennial Park. Evenings mean live bands on Broadway, a songwriter round or a show at the Ryman. It suits couples and friends who like a night out and a big plate of hot chicken more than quiet mornings. Two nights is enough for a solid taste of the city.

Waymore's Hotel Nashville is the top rated at 9.0 from 556 reviews. It's $539 for the stay, room only, plus $82 at the property, and it's in East Nashville, the area for local music bars, vintage shops and hot chicken joints.
