Parking, security\u00a0check-ins, and\u00a0baggage drops can take up quite a lot of time before you can finally get on the airplane.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Traffic Delays<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The traffic is usually high, especially during peak hours and holiday seasons. This can make it hard for you to reach the airport in time. The peak hours are early mornings and early\u00a0evenings,\u00a0and traffic is also high during these times. So, it\u2019s better to keep that in mind and plan your trip accordingly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Passenger Traffic at BNA<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nashville Airport is the busiest in the state, with about 23.7 million passengers annually.

Instead, you can opt for offsite parking lots near BNA Airport. These are quite\u00a0affordable,\u00a0and you can also pre-book them at the cheapest rate.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Security Check-ins at BNA<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Security check-ins on domestic flights are normally shorter than on international flights. However, if you&#8217;re flying internationally, customs and immigration can take much longer and require you to arrive even earlier. Check-in typically closes around 60 minutes before departure, and it can be an issue if you arrive late.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Navigating the Terminals<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you&#8217;re not very familiar with BNA Airport, navigating through it may take you some time.\u00a0There is only one terminal, but there are four concourses. It&#8217;s quite a busy airport, and navigating through the rush can take a long time.\u00a0Arriving early lets you be at peace and have a relaxed flight.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">International Travel<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The security checks and immigration process take quite a long time, so you need to be even earlier for international travel.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Busy_Is_BNA_Airport\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How Busy Is BNA Airport?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">BNA is actually the busiest airport in the state due to its high annual passenger volume.\u00a0Generally, BNA is quite busy even on regular days. You can see a daily passenger volume of\u00a0about 65,000\u00a0here. The number of travelers increases even more\u00a0here\u00a0during peak hours or travel\u00a0seasons.\u00a0The airport has become even busier due to the ongoing expansion of its concourses.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Early_to_Get_to_BNA_Airport_for_Domestic_Flights\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How Early to Get to BNA Airport for Domestic Flights?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In this case, it&#8217;s better to arrive at least 2 hours before your departure.
