Getting Around BNA Airport
Navigating the terminal at BNA is straightforward as it features one main terminal with five concourses. Each concourse is designated by a letter—A, B, C, D, and T. It's a good idea to check your ticket or the airport's digital displays upon arrival to know which concourse your gate is located in. Concourse T is specifically used for all non pre-cleared international flights, so if you're arriving from abroad, this is where you'll likely head.
Here are some tips to help you move smoothly through the terminal:
- Concourse C: This is the largest concourse with 26 gates. If you're flying domestically, there's a good chance you'll use this concourse.
- Satellite Concourse: Gates C4-C11 are situated on a satellite concourse. Accessing these gates might require a bit more walking, so allow extra time to get to your gate.
- Compact Layout: Despite its multiple concourses, the terminal's layout is compact, making it easier to walk between gates if needed.
