The Los Angeles to Nashville route covers roughly 1,790 miles and takes about 4h 05m nonstop. 4 airlines compete on it — Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Spirit Airlines — which keeps fares moving and makes it worth comparing carriers rather than defaulting to the one you usually fly.

Nashville is a live-music city in the literal sense: Broadway’s honky-tonks run free music from late morning until closing, seven days a week. The Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium give the history behind it.
The food has caught up with the music — hot chicken, meat-and-threes and a serious cocktail scene in East Nashville and The Gulch.
