Nashville International Airport (BNA) is Tennessee’s busiest airport, serving more than 25 million passengers in 2025 as it continues to grow its network of nonstop routes and international connections. The airport is currently advancing its New Horizon expansion plan, focused on expanding concourses and upgrading roadways and baggage systems to support the rapid passenger growth seen over the past decade.

For travelers seeking comfort before their flight, BNA offers several lounges, including a Delta Sky Club and an Admirals Club for eligible passengers and a Minute Suites, which is open to all travelers for paid access.

Cardholders have access to more than 1,550 lounges, including Amex’s Centurion Lounges, Priority Pass lounges (upon enrollment), and 10 visits to Delta Sky Clubs (when flying the same day with Delta) with the ability to unlock unlimited visits through spending.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the lounges at Nashville International Airport are fairly limited unless you’re flying with American or in Delta’s premium cabins. Airline status and certain credit cards can also get you access, but for other passengers, there is little choice besides Minute Suites.

BNA could do with an Escape Lounge or The Club for general passengers to purchase day passes to. Thankfully, the airport currently has a good selection of cafes and restaurants within its departure lounges, and once through the central security checkpoint, passengers have access to them all. The redevelopment of Concourse A will hopefully increase BNA’s lounge offering, with no confirmed announcements as yet.
