I text to from Facebook British Airways. 

Great to hear! I made use of that flight a few time when I was living over there...it was easier and faster to get from my house in rural Bedfordshire back to see the family in Tennessee than it is to make the drive down from DC!

[EDIT: moved my commentary to the appropriate thread!]

Snapped this picture of an Alaska Airlines flight heading out into the beautiful sunset as I was waiting to fly out last Tuesday!

Question for the group:  I need to align myself with an airline that travels globally, but also all over the continental US, ideally American or United.  Southwest is not a good option, nor is Allegiant.  Do we think American, Delta, or United will expand their operations at BNA after the renovation is complete?   

[MLBrumby]

I'd guess Delta. American has been struggling and there are industry rumors they're going to need to reduce their operations. United has never been a biggie at BNA.  Before the pandemic, Delta actually named Nashville as a focus for their flights, but that has been withdrawn for now.  I think Delta has the best partnership arrangements with EU and Asian carriers.  American probably has the best arrangment with South American destinations through their Miami and DFW gateways.  Also, there's the added benefit of having Atlanta as their main hub which is within driving distance if there are ever mass cancellations.

JetBlue will begin non-stop twice daily flights between NYC's LaGuardia Airport and BNA starting March 27, 2022.  They currently have non-stops flights between BNA and New York's JFK as well.

Regarding the best global airline choices from BNA, I would go with Delta Air Lines first, followed by American Airlines.  United would be my absolute last choice.

I have not flown since 2015 and the way things are looking I don't plan on flying again. If I can't drive then I guess I will not go. There is too much drama in the air these days, way too many crazy people, too many bag regulations now, too expensive, too cramped, too much of a hassle getting in and out of airports. I will just enjoy the journey getting to my destination as much as the destination itself.

Amtrak is best for that!  As long as you don't mind being late!  Have done cross country on CHI-LAX  CHI-SFO area & CHI-SEA.

I've been using American for a long time. Not the best airline, but by far the most convenient for me since I live super close to DCA and they have lots of flights to BNA. The fact that they codeshare with British Airways is also very nice for additional options for international travel.

I love a good Amtrak trip, especially if you don't mind the odds of being a few hours late because of being stuck behind a slow freight train or having to stop for an investigation if they hit a deer! Seriously though, it's by FAR the most relaxing way to travel. I've done it up and down the NE Corridor, as far south as Charlottesville, VA.

Nashville and New Orleans return next month

Two more routes – Heathrow to Nashville and New Orleans – will return on December 9th. They’ll have three weekly flights each, and both utilize 214-seat B787-8s, which are lower-premium (and therefore more flexible) equipment versus BA’s larger B787-9s.

My last flight was March 2020.  People are acting way too crazy right now on airlines and I am not afraid to fly but I want things to clam down a bit.  So in late 2020 I was going to Texas and decided to drive.  And like you said the journey was the destination.  I had so much fun stopping visiting with my friends along the way and visiting local places all the way to Houston.  I did a long road trip this past Sept. to Dallas with stops in Nashville and Memphis (a city I previously had not been to).  Plus stops to visit friends along the way.   With rental car prices sky high right now that is another reason I like driving.  Next epic road trip will be next year to Carlsbad Caverns NP in New Mexico with stops in Nashville, Little Rock, Fort Worth.  Coming back via the Gulf coast with stops in San Antonio Houston,  Biloxi Mobile and back to Charlotte.   Plus I can bring as much luggage as I want! 

With your location in Nashville more centrally located I would think about a week 10 day trip to Black Hills of South Dakota with plenty of stops along the way.   I will fly again for sure but I am going to wait until things really calm down otherwise it will be long boat ride to Asia LOL. 

[smeagolsfree]

If you need any ideas for any of those locations, let me know as I have driven to all of those areas except Biloxi. Driven through Mississippi and try not to stop. LOL.  No offence Mississippi, but for me its sort of like driving through Kansas.

If you get to SD, at least make it up to Teddy Roosevelt NP in North Dakota. Well worth the visit, as is Custer State Park just outside Keystone SD and the Purple Pie House in Custer SD. Go to Roswell NM for a few laughs as well  when checking out all the UFO museum's.

I have been to all 50 states and do not bypass Biloxi.  Friendliest people and great seafood along the Gulf.  Stop by the visitors center and see the pole marking the storm surge from Katrina.  Still the record.  I enjoy seeing the fruited plains of America and your central location in Tennessee is a great jumping off point.   Hey sometimes come over the mountains see us over here in NC and drive to the Outer Banks.  It is basically a freeway all the way from Nashville except for the last 30 or so miles.  

Custer State Park where my rental car was surrounded by bison Love it!
