NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Fall Break is here — and that means the busiest travel period of the year for Nashville International Airport (BNA). Airport officials say heavy passenger volume is expected throughout October, with the heaviest day anticipated to be Sunday, Oct. 12.
To help travelers prepare, BNA recommends arriving early, allowing extra time for parking, and checking flight status before heading to the airport. With thousands of travelers expected, congestion around the terminal and security checkpoints is likely.
BNA encourages passengers to plan ahead, follow posted signs, and use airport parking and shuttle services where possible.
Travel tip: The airport’s website and social media channels provide real-time parking updates and travel advisories to make your trip smoother.

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
