Airlines on this route
Southwest Airlines flies this route nonstop. That matters more than it sounds: the cheapest fare on one carrier is rarely the same product as the cheapest on another.

See our airline guides for exactly what each carrier charges — then send an enquiry and we'll confirm the all-in price for your dates.
Leaving from Pittsburgh (PIT)
Plan to be at the airport two hours before a domestic departure — ninety minutes can work at smaller airports outside peak times, but security lines are the one variable you can't control. If you're checking a bag, add time rather than cutting it close. Our Pittsburgh airport guide covers terminals, parking and ground transport so you can plan the trip to the airport, not just the flight.

Check Nashville to Pittsburgh fares — prices on the return direction often move on a different rhythm.
When to book
For a trip of 461 miles, booking 2–4 weeks ahead typically lands you in the sweet spot. Leave it to the final two weeks and prices usually climb as the cheapest seats sell out. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures are where the lower fares hide on most domestic routes.
Good to know before you go
- Nonstop time on this route is about 1h 26m — a one-stop itinerary needs to be a lot cheaper to be worth the extra hours.
