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.

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 if it is closer to home, and Smyrna serves Murfreesboro and 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, and the shorter drive for Murfreesboro and Rutherford County. Its 8,000 ft runway supports many aircraft, subject to a performance review for the specific airplane, load and conditions.

TEBUsual choice

Teterboro

Teterboro is the business jet airport for Manhattan, in New Jersey about 12 miles from Midtown. Count on about 25 to 45 minutes to Midtown through the Lincoln Tunnel or over the George Washington Bridge, and longer at rush hour.

More about TEB

The runways are 6,000 and 7,000 ft, and the airport limits aircraft above 100,000 pounds, which still covers every jet we source for this leg. There is no airline traffic. Teterboro has a voluntary curfew late at night.

HPN

Westchester County

Westchester County in White Plains wins for Westchester, Greenwich, Stamford and the northern suburbs. It is about 15 minutes to Greenwich, about 20 minutes to Stamford, and about 45 minutes to an hour to Midtown.

More about HPN

The runway is about 6,500 ft, with suitability confirmed for the specific airplane and conditions. It shares the field with a few airlines and has a voluntary nighttime curfew.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • New York flies year round, and Teterboro is busy every week.
  • The tightest weeks are Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year, the Presidents Day week when New York schools are out, and the March spring breaks.
  • In those weeks aircraft and Teterboro parking both run short, so book two to three weeks ahead and expect quotes in the upper half of the range.
  • From Memorial Day through Labor Day, Friday afternoons fill with flights out to the Hamptons, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, so plan a morning departure from Nashville.
  • In winter, Sunday evening at Teterboro is a line of jets coming home from Florida, so a Sunday midday or Monday morning return to Nashville is calmer.

What you should know

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

    Teterboro sits inside the New York airspace, where traffic is heavy all day. On a weekday afternoon expect a departure time assigned by the FAA and a few minutes of holding on arrival. Your emailed planning estimate adds time for that end.

  2. 02

    Nashville is on Central time and New York is on Eastern. You land an hour later by the clock.

  3. 03

    Winter brings deicing at Teterboro and Westchester. It adds 20 to 40 minutes on the ground and shows on the quote when it is needed.

  4. 04

    For a Hamptons trip in summer, ask about Westhampton Beach (FOK). It saves the drive out from the city, and its 9,000 ft runway is checked for the specific airplane, load and conditions.

Fair questions

Nashville to New York questions.

How much does a private jet from Nashville to New York 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, and it already includes extra time for the New York airspace. Holiday weeks land in the upper half. Your quote will be exact.

Teterboro or Westchester?

Teterboro (TEB) for Manhattan and northern New Jersey, about 25 to 45 minutes to Midtown. Westchester (HPN) for Greenwich, Stamford and the northern suburbs, and it can win for the Upper East Side when the bridges are slow. 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. New York arrivals add a few minutes of routing on a busy afternoon, and the estimate builds that in. Add about 15 minutes at each end for boarding and taxi.

How far ahead should I book?

A week is comfortable for a normal trip. For Thanksgiving, the weeks around Christmas and New Year, and a Friday afternoon in summer, plan two to three weeks ahead. Same day is possible when an aircraft is positioned well, and the estimate shows the range to expect.

Do heavy jets land at Teterboro?

Yes. Teterboro limits aircraft above 100,000 pounds, and every jet we source for this leg, including heavy jets like the Falcon 2000 and Challenger 604, sits well under that. For a group of ten or more, the estimate shows the heavy jet range beside the others.
