Local traffic congestion led Nashville International Airport (BNA) to advise travelers to allow extra time for parking before their flight.
“With the increase in travelers during the holiday season, there will be more passengers arriving and departing from the airport,” BNA said in an official statement. “In addition to Exit 216A, consider alternate routes, such as 216B and Murfreesboro Pike during heavy travel periods.”
BNA added these tips to their official statement: Travelers are urged to follow the tips below for a seamless travel journey:
- Allow extra time for parking. Heavier passenger volume means more people are parking, and those areas will be busy. BNA has six parking options to choose from. Additional parking is now available in Lot B, which was recently expanded to add hundreds of parking spaces for passengers ahead of the Thanksgiving travel period. If parking in valet, passengers coming from I-40 will only be able to access this area from Exit 216B. Check parking details and availability here.
- Utilize the cell lot. To help reduce traffic congestion, drivers picking up passengers are encouraged to wait in BNA’s cell phone lot at 1415 Murfreesboro Pike. The new lot provides ample space and features digital signage with real-time flight updates. Please allow 20 to 30 minutes after your loved one lands for them to exit the terminal and reach the curb.
