Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts

The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Nashville to Minneapolis cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.

Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.

Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.

The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Nashville to Minneapolis.

What is the typical flight duration from Nashville to Minneapolis?

A flight from Nashville to Minneapolis is about 695 miles. The typical nonstop flight takes 2 hours and 10 minutes, while the return trip from Minneapolis to Nashville is slightly shorter at 2 hours. The difference is small enough that you can expect about 2 hours in the air either way.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). 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. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Yes, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines are the two carriers currently scheduled non-stop between Nashville and Minneapolis, both flying daily. Delta operates 27 weekly flights, while Southwest runs 14 weekly flights, for a combined 41 non-stop flights each week with departures spread from early morning through late evening.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) offers several strong ground transportation options to reach downtown Minneapolis, about 10 miles away. Taxis average $39–$49 to downtown Minneapolis, while ride-share services like Uber and Lyft pick up at the ground transportation center. The METRO Blue Line light rail is a standout mass transit option, reaching the Warehouse District in downtown Minneapolis in about 25 minutes for roughly $2–$2.75, and it also provides free 24-hour service between the airport’s two terminals. Metro Transit bus route 54 serves Saint Paul from Terminal 1. The light rail is the most-used and most cost-effective choice for most travelers, while taxis and ride-shares offer the fastest door-to-door convenience.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Fares from Nashville to Minneapolis are lowest in early November, around $263. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $278, followed by February ($279) and November ($283). December is the most expensive month at about $332, and fares peak in late December at about $346. The yearly average is $295. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
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. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.

How far in advance should I book tickets from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Book about 5 weeks before departure for the best fares from Nashville to Minneapolis, around $212. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $339, $127 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $401. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Yes, overnight red-eye flights operate from Nashville to Minneapolis on Southwest, departing four nights a week — Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. These flights leave around 10:45–10:50 PM and land at 12:55 AM, arriving in the early hours just after midnight rather than the next morning.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines fly nonstop from Nashville to Minneapolis. Delta currently operates 27 weekly flights with departures throughout the day, while Southwest runs 14 weekly flights. Both carriers fly the route daily. Delta is a SkyTeam member, while Southwest is not in any alliance.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

How reliable are on‑time arrivals on this route from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Delta leads on-time arrival reliability from Nashville to Minneapolis, with 89.0% of flights landing within 15 minutes of schedule and a cancellation rate of just 0.1%. Southwest trails at 79.8% on-time arrivals and a 0.4% cancellation rate.
Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

Which airport should I use in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport is the only commercial airport serving Minneapolis. It is about 10 miles from downtown and is a major hub for Delta Air Lines.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Delta operates the Nashville to Minneapolis route most heavily and flies a mix of Boeing 737-900s, Airbus A320 family aircraft, and Boeing 737 family aircraft. Southwest also serves the route non-stop, using Boeing 737 family aircraft.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Nashville to Minneapolis?

Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines are the carriers currently scheduled non-stop between Nashville and Minneapolis, flying daily.
