Nashville from Salt Lake City, Oct 23–25: $1,295 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Fare is $420 per person, $50 below the typical fare
- Highs of 73–77°F and a rain chance of 4% or less
- Breakfast and free cancellation at a hotel rated 7.9, 1,470 reviews
The catch: The Frontier flight has one stop, takes 10h 27m and lands at 8:55 PM Friday, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you want a weekend of live music and hot chicken at a fair fare; skip it if a 10h 27m flight with a stop eats too much of two nights.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day. The trip comes to $1,295 for two: the flights at $840 plus 2 nights at Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Nashville Airport East, TN at $394, with the $61 the hotel charges at the property, taxes and fees included. It runs Friday to Sunday, Oct 23–25, 2026, on Frontier with one stop, and the flight out takes 10h 27m.

Why now
When we checked, the fare was $420 per person, $50 below the typical fare on this route. That's 11% under the $470 median from 21 earlier checks. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $420 to $725 per person, and this one was the lowest. With 2 nights at the best-value hotel, you're looking at $1,295 for two, taxes and fees included. Checked bags and spending money are extra. Late October looks good on the forecast too: 77°F on Friday, 73°F on Saturday and 74°F on Sunday, lows from 53°F to 57°F, and rain chances between 0% and 4%. That's good weather for walking between honky-tonks after dark and eating hot chicken outside. Prices change, so this is what we found when we checked, and we can't promise it will hold.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around live music and food. Bands play the honky-tonks from noon, you can see a show at the Ryman or the Opry, and hot chicken is lunch. It suits a couple or two friends who like being out at night and are fine with a quick pace. Saturday is your one full day, and Sunday is for a slower walk before the flight home.

Where to stay in Nashville
All three picks are airport hotels, not downtown, so you'll need a ride into the city each day. Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Nashville Airport East, TN is the best value and the hotel in our total: $394 for the stay ($197 a night), with breakfast and free cancellation, rated 7.9 from 1,470 reviews. Sonesta Nashville Airport is the top rated at 8.8 from 979 reviews. It's $508 for the stay, room only, with free cancellation and $77 paid at the property. Best Western Plus Nashville Airport Hotel - BNA costs $405 with breakfast and scores 8.1 from 1,346 reviews, but you can't cancel it for free. If you'd rather walk to the music, Downtown / Lower Broadway puts the honky-tonks, the Ryman and the Country Music Hall of Fame on foot.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if a long travel day doesn't bother you. The fare is $50 below the typical fare on this route, the forecast is dry with highs of 73–77°F, and the hotel includes breakfast and free cancellation. The catch is the flight: one stop and 10h 27m.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,295 for two, all in: $840 for the flights, $394 for 2 nights at Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Nashville Airport East, TN, and $61 paid at the property. A checked bag, about $240 for two, and spending money aren't included.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip from Salt Lake City International (SLC) to Nashville International (BNA), and you'll pay in US dollars.
What's the weather like?
Friday, Oct 23, looks mostly clear at 77°F. Saturday and Sunday are overcast with highs of 73°F and 74°F. Lows run 53°F to 57°F, and the rain chance stays at 4% or less.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's tight. You land at 8:55 PM on Friday, so Saturday is your one full day for Broadway, the Ryman or the Hall of Fame. That's plenty for a quick music weekend, but short if you want to see East Nashville and 12 South too.
Which hotel should we pick?
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Nashville Airport East, TN is $394 with breakfast and rated 7.9. Sonesta Nashville Airport rates higher at 8.8 for $508, room only. Both have free cancellation. Best Western Plus Nashville Airport Hotel - BNA is $405 but can't be canceled for free.
