Morning or evening flight on PWM–BNA?

Operators schedule evening departures around 18:15 from PWM. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the BNA delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from PWM to BNA?

Great-circle distance is 1,624 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 145–169 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does PWM–BNA fly?

Southwest Airlines runs the route with about 7 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
