Leaving Nashville

Nashville airports and drive times →
BNAUsual choice

Nashville International

Nashville International is on the east side of town, about 15 minutes from downtown and Music Row in normal traffic. Its longest runway is over 11,000 ft, with aircraft suitability confirmed for the planned load and conditions.

More about BNA

You board from the general aviation ramp, not the airline terminal, and plan to arrive about 15 minutes before departure. If you live west of town, John C. Tune is quieter and closer for a light or midsize jet. If you are coming from Murfreesboro or the southeast side, Smyrna saves the drive.

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; it saves the drive for Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.

Arriving in Naples

Naples airports and drive times →
APFUsual choice

Naples Airport

Naples Airport is about two miles from Fifth Avenue South. Count on about 10 minutes to Old Naples, about 15 minutes to Port Royal and Pelican Bay and about 40 minutes to Marco Island.

More about APF

The main runway is about 6,600 ft, which suits light, midsize and super midsize jets and many heavy jets. On a hot day with full fuel for a long leg, a heavy jet may use Fort Myers instead. Naples asks jets not to arrive or depart between 10 pm and 7 am, so a late arrival may move to Fort Myers.

RSW

Southwest Florida International

Southwest Florida International in Fort Myers has a 12,000 ft runway and no curfew, so it offers another option, subject to operating conditions and confirmation. It wins when the aircraft is too heavy for Naples, when Naples has no ramp space in a peak week, or when the weather at Naples is below limits.

More about RSW

Plan about 45 minutes to Old Naples by car, more in season.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • The Naples season runs November to April.
  • The busy weeks are Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day, spring break in March and Easter.
  • In those weeks aircraft book early, ramp space at Naples runs short, and quotes land in the upper half of the range.
  • Book two to four weeks ahead for a peak week and you usually have real choices.
  • In summer the corridor is quieter and pricing softens.
From the cockpit

What you should know

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

    Nashville is on Central time. Naples is on Eastern. You lose an hour flying down and get it back on the way home.

  2. 02

    In season the Naples ramp fills up. The operator may drop you at Naples, reposition the aircraft to Fort Myers, and come back for your return. That is normal and it is priced into the quote.

  3. 03

    Naples has a voluntary nighttime curfew for jets. If you need to land late, we plan Fort Myers or move the time.

  4. 04

    Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms along the Gulf coast. A morning departure from Naples usually avoids the delay.

Fair questions

Nashville to Naples questions.

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

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range for each cabin size, from light jets up. It moves with your dates, whether the trip is one way or round trip, and how many seats you need. Peak weeks land in the upper half. Your quote will be exact once the desk reviews the trip.

How long is the flight from Nashville to Naples?

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 security line and no connection, so the trip is usually under three hours door to door.

Which Naples airport will we use?

Naples Airport (APF) on almost every trip. It is about 10 minutes from Old Naples, and its main runway suits light, midsize and super midsize jets and many heavy jets. Fort Myers (RSW) wins when the aircraft is heavy, when the Naples ramp is full in a peak week, or when you need to land very late at night.

How far ahead should I book?

From November through April, a week or more ahead gives us a good market for a normal week. For Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day, spring break and Easter, two to four weeks ahead is wise. From May through October a few days is usually enough. Same day is possible when an aircraft is positioned well, and the estimate shows you what to expect either way.

Can I fly one way, and can I bring pets and golf clubs?

Yes to all of it. A one way trip is priced on the aircraft's positioning, so the estimate widens the high end a little until the quote is exact. Pets ride in the cabin on nearly every aircraft we source, with the operator's approval and notice ahead of time. A light jet takes a few golf bags, and a midsize jet takes a foursome's worth. Tell us the count and we size the baggage hold.
