The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

Taxis and ride-shares are the fastest and most convenient, taking about 15 minutes and costing roughly $25. The Route 18 bus is the most-used public transit option, connecting the airport to Music City Central downtown.

December is also the priciest month at $324, followed by June at $314.", "methodology": "Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve.

Booking much earlier—like 180 days ahead—tends to cost over twice as much, around $456, while waiting until the last two weeks pushes prices back up toward $260–$340. For summer and holiday travel, demand is higher, so you should book on the earlier end of that window or even a bit sooner to lock in the best rates.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive.
