MSY BNA

Private jet charter from New Orleans to Nashville

The route from New Orleans (MSY) to Nashville (BNA) covers approximately 759 km, with a median block time of 2h 27m on flights we actually tracked.

This is a moderately busy sector: 56 tracked flights in 12 months, close to 5 per month between New Orleans and Nashville.

Median block time on tracked flights is 2h 27m, about 93 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

Traffic is strongly seasonal — February carried 11 flights against 1 in October, a 11.0× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.

The Embraer Phenom 300 dominates the route, accounting for 41% of tracked movements, followed by the Cessna Citation Latitude and the Cessna Citation Excel — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Flying back from Nashville is 47 minutes quicker: 1h 40m against 2h 27m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. Winds aloft run west to east at these latitudes, so the eastbound leg rides the jet stream and the westbound one fights it. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Nashville to New Orleans 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.

Money-Saving Tips
You are billed for 2h 27m of block time on this sector, not for the 759 km — an aircraft based at either end saves more than a cheaper hourly rate
Ask for the Embraer Phenom 300 first: it is the type most often flown here, so it is the least likely to be positioned in empty
Take an empty leg if the date is flexible — repositioning flights on this direction run well below the normal rate
Compare multiple aircraft options rather than the cheapest hourly rate alone
Book 24-48 hours ahead: same-day requests pay for whatever is available, not for what fits
