Airports

Both ends of the trip.

Each field suits a different part of town. Choose one and the estimate above updates.

DALUsual choice

Dallas Love Field

Love Field sits about six miles northwest of downtown Dallas, with a longer runway of about 8,800 feet, with aircraft suitability confirmed for the load and conditions. Figure about 10 to 15 minutes from Uptown, Highland Park and the Park Cities, and about 15 minutes from downtown.

More about DAL

Private flights use the general aviation ramps, away from the airline terminal. This is a leg we quote often.

ADS

Addison

Addison is the north Dallas option, close to Preston Hollow, Plano and Frisco. Its runway is about 7,200 feet, which suits light, midsize and super midsize jets.

More about ADS

North of the LBJ Freeway, Addison usually wins on drive time.

FTW

Fort Worth Meacham

Meacham is on the north side of Fort Worth, about 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Fort Worth and the shorter drive for Southlake and Westlake. Its main runway is about 7,500 feet.

BNAUsual choice

Nashville International

Nashville International is about eight miles southeast of downtown. Figure about 15 minutes to downtown and Music Row, about 20 to 25 minutes to Brentwood and Green Hills, and about 35 to 40 minutes to Franklin.

More about BNA

Its runways are long, with aircraft suitability confirmed for the load and conditions. On big event weekends the private ramps fill and the crew asks for parking early. CP Jets is based in Nashville, so this is home ground: we know the ramps, the FBO desks and the drive times.

JWN

John C. Tune

John C. Tune is the general aviation airport on the west side of Nashville, off Briley Parkway.

More about JWN

The runway is about 6,000 feet, which suits light jets and many midsize jets; super midsize and heavy jets usually go to BNA. It is about 10 to 15 minutes to downtown and closer than BNA for Belle Meade, West End and Bellevue. It is quieter than BNA and easy to get in and out of.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • Dallas to Nashville flies year round, and work trips set the pace.
  • Inbound, CMA Fest in June, New Year's Eve and big home game weekends fill the Nashville ramps.
  • The holiday weeks run tight too: Thanksgiving week, Christmas week through New Year's Day, the spring break weeks in March, Memorial Day weekend, the week of July 4 and Labor Day weekend.
  • In those weeks aircraft are spoken for days ahead and quotes sit in the upper half of the range.
  • A flexible date, even by one day, usually brings the price back down.

What you should know

How we review the aircraft for your trip →
  1. 01

    Nashville ramps fill on CMA Fest in June, New Year's Eve, big home game weekends and the holiday weeks. The crew may need to drop you and reposition, and the quote shows it.

  2. 02

    Summer afternoon thunderstorms are the weather to watch on this leg, on both ends. Delays are usually an hour, rarely more. A morning departure avoids them.

  3. 03

    On a normal week a light jet is the value here; a midsize adds a stand up cabin and an enclosed lavatory for about the same flight time.

  4. 04

    Landing in Nashville for the first time? We can point you to the right FBO desk and the right road into town.

Fair questions

Dallas to Nashville questions.

How much does a private jet from Dallas to Nashville cost?

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by cabin size. Enter your dates, traveler count and email to request it. The range comes from indicative rate bands. Prices move with dates, aircraft availability and positioning, and big event weekends in Nashville sit in the upper half of the range. Your quote will be exact.

How long is the flight from Dallas to Nashville?

About an hour and a half in the air for a light jet and a few minutes less in a larger cabin. The figure at the top of this page is the standard time for this leg.

BNA or John C. Tune?

BNA for super midsize and heavy jets, for downtown and for the south side of town. John C. Tune for a light or midsize jet headed to the west side, or when you want the quieter field and a faster walk to the car. Both are about 15 minutes from downtown. We pick one when we see the aircraft and where you are staying.

Can I fly Dallas to Nashville and back the same day?

Yes. The flight is short enough for a morning out and an evening back, and the aircraft waits for you in Nashville. A same day round trip prices as two legs, and your emailed planning estimate shows the round trip range when you enter a return date. The quote states any waiting charge on the ground.

What about luggage and pets?

A light jet carries a bag per person plus a few soft items; midsize and larger cabins carry more. Pets ride in the cabin on the operator's terms, which we confirm before the quote. Tell us the bag count and the pet when you submit so the pilot sizes the cabin correctly.
