If you’ll be flying today, and haven’t been to the airport in a while because of COVID-19 and some airport construction, there are some changes you need to be aware of.
BNA expects its number of passengers to be higher this holiday weekend than recent weeks.
Airport officials say right now it’s hard to predict how many people will be traveling because many people’s travel plans are fluid and changing.
They estimate daily passenger departures this week to be about 12,000-14,000 passengers.
