Louisville Airport Just Landed A Direct Flight To Nashville—And It’s A Big Deal

Southwest Airlines will officially offer nonstop flights between Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) and Nashville International Airport (BNA). These flights will leave every day except Saturdays.

The 50-minute flight makes it easier for people from Louisville to get to more than 75 locations through Southwest’s Nashville hub, including popular vacation spots on the Southeast coast. Pensacola, Destin, Panama City Beach, Savannah, Charleston, and Myrtle Beach are all great places to visit. There are also several business-friendly connections to bigger cities all across the country.

This announcement is part of Southwest’s larger growth at SDF, which will include nonstop service to Dallas-Love Field starting this fall.
