Top tips for finding a cheap flight to Nashville (BNA)
Aim for the Goldilocks Window
Great deals on airfare can happen at any time, but experience has shown us that there are certain times before a flight when the cost of a plane ticket tends to be at its lowest. For domestic trips, it’s 1-3 months ahead of a flight. For international trips, it’s 2-8 months ahead. We call this sweet spot the Goldilocks Window.
There are exceptions, though, if the trip you’re planning will be during a holiday or peak travel season or if your travel dates are set in stone. In those cases, we suggest adding a few months to the equation. Dreaming of a tropical summer holiday? Plan to book your flights the winter before. Flying home for Christmas? Plan to book those flights in July. And last-minute deals are fairly uncommon—on the contrary, airlines tend to raise fares at the 21-, 14-, and 7-day points before a flight, so book before then if at all possible.
Look into flying out of a different airport
Checking the fares for departures from the airport nearest to you is the obvious first step when you’re planning a trip. Just because your home airport is the most convenient, however, doesn’t mean it’s the one with the best deals. We see fabulous fares all the time from unexpected airports (not just the big ones), and the only way you’ll see those is by casting a wider net.
If you’re planning a trip to Nashville from, say, Portland, you might check the prices and figure that $380 roundtrip is the best you can do. But zoom out on the map a bit, and you’ll see that there are roundtrip flights to Nashville from Seattle’s SeaTac airport for less than $230. Savings like that on airfare may make driving a few hours to get to the airport worth your while.
Keep your plans flexible
One of the best ways to save money when you travel is by staying flexible. When you’re locked into flying only on specific days, or you’ll be traveling during the high tourist season, it’s harder to find deals. But if you can be flexible with the season you travel or your specific travel dates, you stand a much better chance of finding lower prices on airfare.
When summer is the only time your whole family can travel, though, try looking at fares at the beginning (first couple of weeks of June) and the end (last couple of weeks of August) for slightly lower prices. And, no matter when you fly, try to avoid the days when it’s typically more expensive (Fridays and Sundays) and aim for the days when it tends to be a little cheaper (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays).
Sign up for airfare alert emails
Staying on top of the constant changes in the cost of airfare can be a full-time job (we should know). Few of us have that kind of free time, which is where fare alerts come in. Sign up for alerts about any trip you’re looking at, and you’ll get an email when the fare drops into the range you’re hoping for. That way, you’ll be able to click the “buy” button when you know you’ve got a good deal. Just remember that if your travel plans are flexible, you’ll need to sign up for an alert for each potential itinerary—or you can join Going, and we’ll keep you posted on all the great fares from your home airport.
