If I ever arrive at BNA 2 hours before my flight I'm always sitting in the terminal waiting 1:55 minutes for my flight.

(Never check bags + Precheck)

Same. I may just be lucky but the longest I’ve ever had from arriving at the door to getting past security was like 35 minutes, and that included checking bags.

Southwest Airlines' CEO Bob Jordan is bullish on the company's future in Nashville — and if you're curious, he prefers an aisle seat.

With around 800 employees already in Nashville, Jordan told the Business Journal that Southwest is looking at a future flight attendant and pilot base, a city where crew and aircrafts are stationed, in Nashville — though there are no immediate plans.

“A lot of that depends on where you want to originate flights, where you want to have aircraft overnight, but I’ll just tell you we are looking at that and there is a possibility that Nashville becomes a base,” Jordan said. “I don’t see that immediately. … [J]ob one is get the network restored and see how everything is performing.”

Jordan added that the idea of at least a satellite base in Nashville, which is a smaller base, is on Southwest’s radar. 

Out of Southwest’s 121 destinations, Nashville ranks No. 8 in terms of its busiest airports, seeing more flights through Music City than pre-pandemic.

Southwest is the largest airline serving Nashville International Airport, according to Business Journal research, with more than 6 million passengers flying through BNA between June 2020 and June 2021.

“We are close to gate constraint right now [at Nashville International Airport]. We are at 16 gates and will get the four new gates at the end of next year, and that will help a ton,” Jordan said. “We are going to grow here. … Nashville is a huge focus city for us; the flights we put here are successful.”

The airport's recently announced $1.4 billion New Horizon plan intends to add even more Southwest gates.

Finally touchdown!!!!  

Southwest Tennessee One landed at BNA from Dallas. 

Is there a way for me to tell if a Southwest flight I've booked will be on this plane?  Does Southwest list these special planes on its website somewhere?

That’s a negative. As far as a I know, no airline does that.

I don’t think there is upon booking, but if you use an app like FlightRadar24 you can see info on the plane maybe 36 hours before the flight. Then you can click the picture to go to a site to read info on the plane itself. The first pic is of a state plane (Arizona 1) that will be departing tomorrow evening from BNA to AUS. The second is the information about the aircraft from the embedded link to JetPhotos.

Practically every day he seems to post pics of the same aircraft (Atlas Air 747 freighter and British Airways 787).  I love airplanes, but repeatedly seeing these same ones gets tedious. How about more photos of the construction and terminal expansion?  I would find that more interesting than the same aircraft pics.

It’s easy enough to scroll past photos or posts that are of no interest to any of us, on this or any other topic thread. “Different strokes for different folks.” It’s good to have a group of enthusiasts with varied interests to document the growth and activity of our bustling city!

In the coffeehouse there’s a thread called “UP Technical Support Question” with the last post from July 19. In it I instructed how to block (or hide, more accurately) posts from a particular poster.
