Private Jet from Nashville, US (BNA) to New Orleans, US (MSY)

Private jet charter from Nashville to New Orleans

The route from Nashville (BNA) to New Orleans (MSY) covers approximately 759 km, with a median block time of 1h 40m on flights we actually tracked.

This is a moderately busy sector: 51 tracked flights in 12 months, close to 4 per month between Nashville and New Orleans.

Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 40m, about 46 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

The Cessna Citation Latitude dominates the route, accounting for 39% of tracked movements, followed by the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Bombardier Learjet 60 — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Flying back from New Orleans is 47 minutes slower: 2h 27m against 1h 40m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. The headwind sits on the return leg here, which is why the outbound reads shorter. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the New Orleans to Nashville leg has its own page with its own numbers.

The smallest cabin that covers 759 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.
