What moves the price
The calendar moves prices the most. Big concerts and football weekends cause short spikes.
Bachelor and bachelorette groups make this a popular leisure route as well as a business one.
Booking the return on the same aircraft is usually cheaper than two separate one-way trips.
What isn't in the hourly rate
Before comparing two quotes, check whether they include these:
- Landing, parking and handling fees at Teterboro and Nashville.
- De-icing at Teterboro on cold mornings, which can add a meaningful amount between December and March.
- If the jet stays in Nashville for your return, you pay for the crew's hotel and meals.
When two quotes differ a lot, the gap is often in these lines. Every fee is explained in our guide to charter fees.

Which airports to use
Leaving New York
Teterboro (TEB), about 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan is the usual departure. Other options: Westchester (HPN), Republic (FRG).
Arriving in Nashville
- Nashville (BNA), about 6 miles from downtown Nashville in a straight line. Handles both airlines and most private traffic for Nashville.
Choosing the right aircraft
For most groups of four to six, a light jet does the job nonstop. A bigger cabin for a flight this length is mostly about comfort, not need.
Good to know on this route
- Nashville is an hour behind New York.
- Big concerts and football weekends cause short spikes in demand.
Ways to bring the price down
- Move by a day: the day before or after a peak date can make a real difference.
- Book the return together: keeping the same aircraft for the return is often cheaper than booking two separate one-way trips.
- Book peak dates early: for holidays and big events, aircraft run out and prices climb in the last two weeks.
- Be open on airports: ask for quotes from more than one airport at each end; the cheapest aircraft isn't always at the obvious one.
From request to boarding, the process is short. See how to book a private jet for the details.
