Airports

Both ends of the trip.

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

BNAUsual choice

Nashville International

Nashville International is on the east side of town, about 15 minutes from downtown in normal traffic. Its longest runway is over 11,000 ft, with aircraft suitability confirmed for the planned load and conditions, and several light jets are based on the field, which keeps positioning cost down on many trips.

More about BNA

You board from the general aviation ramp about 15 minutes before departure. John C. Tune on the west side works for a light or midsize jet, and Smyrna serves the southeast side.

JWN

John C. Tune

The quieter field on the west side of Nashville, about 15 minutes from downtown, with a runway of about 6,000 ft that suits light and midsize jets.

MQY

Smyrna

On the southeast side, about 35 minutes from downtown, with an 8,000 ft runway that can support many aircraft, subject to a performance review for the specific airplane, load and conditions. It saves the drive for Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.

DALUsual choice

Dallas Love Field

Dallas Love Field is about six miles northwest of downtown. It is about 15 minutes to downtown and Uptown, about 10 to 15 minutes to Highland Park and University Park, and about 15 minutes to Preston Hollow.

More about DAL

The main runway is over 8,000 ft, with aircraft suitability confirmed for the planned load and conditions. Airlines use the terminal; business jets use the FBOs away from it, so you are in a car a few minutes after landing.

ADS

Addison

Addison Airport is in north Dallas, about 14 miles from downtown. It wins for Plano, Frisco, Far North Dallas and the Galleria area, about 15 to 25 minutes away, and it has no airline traffic.

More about ADS

The runway is about 7,200 ft, with suitability confirmed for the specific airplane and conditions. Downtown is about 20 to 25 minutes.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • Nashville to Dallas flies year round, and work trips set the pace.
  • The busy weeks are Thanksgiving week, Christmas through New Year's Day, the spring break weeks in March, Memorial Day weekend and the week of July 4.
  • The Texas OU weekend in October fills the Dallas ramps with inbound aircraft, so book the Sunday flight home early.
  • In those weeks the light jets based in Nashville are spoken for days ahead, and quotes sit in the upper half of the range.
  • Late spring and early fall are the easier weeks to find an aircraft and a price in the lower half.
From the cockpit

What you should know

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

    No time change. Dallas is on Central time like Nashville.

  2. 02

    Dallas airspace is busy with DFW arrivals. Love Field arrivals fit around them and can add a few minutes; the quote sets the real schedule.

  3. 03

    Spring brings lines of thunderstorms across Texas and the mid South. If one is forecast, we talk about timing the day before so the crew can leave ahead of it or behind it.

  4. 04

    Several light and midsize jets are based at Nashville, which helps positioning cost on a round trip from home. The estimate assumes a normal position.

Fair questions

Nashville to Dallas questions.

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

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range for each cabin size. It moves with your dates, one way or round trip, and the number of seats. Holiday weeks and big game weekends land in the upper half. Your quote will be exact once the desk reviews the trip.

Love Field or Addison?

Love Field (DAL) for downtown, Uptown, Highland Park and Preston Hollow, about 10 to 15 minutes away. Addison (ADS) for Plano, Frisco and the north side, with no airline traffic. Tell us the address and we choose.

How long is the flight?

The flight time under the heading is the typical time in the air for this leg. Add about 15 minutes at each end for boarding and taxi. There is no time change, so the clock reads the same when you land.

How far ahead should I book?

Two to four days is usually enough, because light and midsize jets are based near Nashville. For a holiday week or a big game weekend, give us a week or two. Same day is possible when an aircraft is free, and the estimate shows the range to expect.

Can I land in Fort Worth instead?

Yes. Fort Worth Meacham (FTW) is about 10 minutes from downtown Fort Worth and has a runway of about 7,500 ft, with suitability confirmed for the specific airplane, load and conditions. Put Fort Worth in the notes when you submit and the quote uses it.
