Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m genuinely disappointed by how few nonstop options we have from BNA to Cancun.

Nashville’s airport has grown tremendously over the past several years, and I assumed that meant we’d see more consistent international service. Instead, it feels like the nonstop flights are either seasonal or only offered on limited days.

Delta, American, and Southwest all seem to offer nonstop service primarily during the November–April travel season. But what about the rest of the year? There are plenty of people who travel to Cancun in May, June, August, and September, especially families, honeymooners, and travelers taking advantage of lower hotel rates.

I’d much rather pay a little more for a nonstop than spend an extra 3–6 hours connecting through Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, Charlotte, Houston, or Detroit just to get to Cancun.

Is this simply a demand issue, or are there other reasons airlines don’t operate year-round nonstop service from Nashville? With BNA continuing to expand, I was hoping we’d see more dependable international routes rather than just seasonal service.
I can’t be the only Nashville traveler wishing BNA had more reliable nonstop international options. What do you all think?

How are people allowed to walk around Broadway in Nashville carrying giant snakes and trying to put them on strangers???

I honestly couldn’t tell if this person was a street performer or scam artist trying to pressure tourists into photos/tips, but it crossed a line when they started forcibly trying to put the snake on people walking by.

I have a legitimate phobia of snakes and nearly had a panic reaction just turning a corner and suddenly seeing it inches away from me in a packed crowd.

Broadway is already crowded, loud, and chaotic. Why is someone allowed to walk through dense pedestrian traffic with a giant snake while aggressively approaching strangers who clearly did not consent?

It honestly feels like a safety issue waiting to happen.
