I'll start with the fact that it took 15 minutes to get thru BNA security. That alone gets you 5 stars. AND they treat you like a person. Have you ever met friendly TSA staff in your life? Well, you'll meet them here. The first thing you'll notice is the live music blasting out of Tootsie's Bar and Restaurant, and airport version of the Nashville honky tonk staple. There's music all the time, even first thing in the morning. There's a full service nail salon IN the secure area, and rocking chairs by the baggage claim. Rocking chairs! Are you in the south, or what? And you can get a massage! It's too much. The staff being so super nice already made me a little woozy with confusion.

There are plenty of reasonable choices for Nashville Intl. Airport hotels, and BNA parking is not bad either at $22 outdoor valet, and $10 to do it yourself. Just eat before you get to the airport, because everything closes at 8:00, and I wasn't crazy about the food options even before 8 pm. But you'll be in and out in no time, and your experience overall will be nice.
