    Does Nashville Airport have Priority Pass lounges?

    Things to do at the Nashville Airport

    BNA has a range of options available, whether you have a layover or just a couple of hours to spare.

    Relax at Minute Suites Nashville

    Minute Suites offer quiet, private spaces to nap, relax or work before a flight. The Minute Suites Nashville location is in Concourse D, near Gate D3.

    Priority Pass members may use one of their lounge visit allocations toward a complimentary one-hour stay at Minute Suites locations. For details on additional discounts, please visit Priority Pass Benefits - Minute Suites.

    To reserve a suite in advance, visit the Minute Suites website. A minimum stay of at least 1-hour and 15 minutes must be booked in order to reserve online and guarantee suite availability prior to your arrival. Reservations are recommended, as private suites may be in high demand, especially during peak travel times, in the event of mass cancellations and/or delays, etc.

    Please note that complimentary one-hour reservations are not available to be booked online and may be booked in person, at time of arrival, and are based upon availability.
