Airports

Both ends of the trip.

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

APFUsual choice

Naples Airport

Naples Airport sits just east of downtown. It is about ten minutes to Fifth Avenue South and Old Naples, about 15 minutes to Port Royal and Pelican Bay, and 35 to 45 minutes to Marco Island.

More about APF

The main runway is about 6,600 ft, which works for every category on this page. Two FBOs serve the field: Naples Aviation, run by the airport authority, and Naples Jet Center. In season the ramp fills, so we ask the operator to confirm parking early. The airport asks jets not to arrive or depart between 10 pm and 7 am. It is voluntary, and operators we work with plan around it, so plan a daytime or early evening arrival when you can.

RSW

Southwest Florida International

Southwest Florida International is in Fort Myers, about 45 minutes north of Old Naples on Interstate 75, longer in season traffic. It has a 12,000 ft runway and its own general aviation ramp, so it wins for heavy jets, for large groups, and on the peak weeks when Naples has no parking left.

More about RSW

For Bonita Springs, Estero and Sanibel it is often the closer airport.

BNAUsual choice

Nashville International

Nashville International is on the east side of town. It is about 15 minutes to downtown and Broadway, 20 to 25 minutes to Brentwood, about 25 minutes to Belle Meade and 35 to 40 minutes to Franklin.

More about BNA

The runways take every category, the longest about 11,000 ft, and there is more than one FBO to choose from. Airline traffic shares the field, so on big event weekends the ramp and the roads both get busy.

JWN

John C. Tune

John C. Tune is the general aviation airport on the west side of Nashville, about 15 minutes to downtown and closer than BNA for West End, Belle Meade and Bellevue.

More about JWN

Its single runway is about 6,000 ft, fine for light jets and many midsize jets. No airline traffic, one quiet FBO, an easy curb. On a hot day with a full cabin, some larger jets prefer BNA.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • Naples runs on a season.
  • It starts around Thanksgiving and holds through Easter, with the tightest weeks at Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day weekend and the March spring break run.
  • In those weeks the aircraft based in Florida are spoken for early, so a Naples departure is often flown by an aircraft positioned in from Nashville or Atlanta.
  • That is why a one way estimate runs wider than a round trip.
  • Summer is the quiet time: easier availability, and afternoon thunderstorms from June to September that a good crew plans around.
From the cockpit

What you should know

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

    Aircraft based in Nashville fly to Naples all season and need to go home. When your dates are flexible, ask us to look for one of those. It can lower the price.

  2. 02

    For a weekend in either city, a round trip on one aircraft is usually priced tighter than two one ways. Switch the estimate to round trip to see the difference.

  3. 03

    In season, Naples ramp parking is the first thing we confirm with the operator. Some aircraft drop you and reposition out, which is normal and is already in the quote.

  4. 04

    Summer afternoons in Southwest Florida bring thunderstorms. A morning departure out of Naples usually avoids them.

  5. 05

    Winter mornings in Naples can bring an hour or two of fog after sunrise. In January and February a mid morning departure is the easy one.

Fair questions

Naples to Nashville questions.

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

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by category for your dates. A light jet sits at the low end and a midsize higher. A one way runs wider than a round trip because the aircraft has to get into position. Your written quote identifies the aircraft, total price, included taxes and fees, exclusions and any charges that may change.

How far ahead should I book Naples to Nashville?

Outside of season, a few days is usually enough. In the holiday weeks and the spring break run, two to three weeks gives you the widest choice of aircraft. Same day and next day trips happen often. The choice narrows to what is already nearby, and the estimate still applies.

Should I land at BNA or John C. Tune?

BNA when you are headed downtown, to Brentwood or Franklin, or when you are on a larger aircraft. John C. Tune when you are going to the west side of town or want a quieter airport with a shorter walk to the car. Tell us where you are staying and we pick with you.

Can I use this page for Nashville to Naples?

Yes. The estimate works in either direction, so flip the airports and it updates. There is also a Nashville to Naples page with the same aircraft and the same ranges, written for the southbound trip.
