Southwest Airlines: Now Non-stop Boston-Nashville

Elvis would say, “Thank ya, thank ya ver’ much!”

Southwest Airlines just started a once-a-day non-stop service between Boston MA and Nashville TN. For the local airport, Metropolitan Nashville (BNA), it’s currently the only major airline non-stop between the two cities.

Southwest's other non-stop routes from Boston Logan (BOS) include Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall (BWI), Chicago Midway (MDW), Denver, Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) and Lambert St. Louis (STL).
