They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value.

Departure: Nashville International Airport (BNA)

Nashville International Airport (BNA) is where the Nashville to Chicago flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Nashville to Nashville International Airport

Arrival: Chicago O'Hare and Midway airports (ORD / MDW) and getting into Chicago

You arrive at Chicago O'Hare and Midway airports (ORD / MDW). The CTA Blue Line runs from O'Hare and the Orange Line from Midway to the Loop in 40-50 minutes, workable for one traveller; with luggage, a family or a suburban hotel a car door to door is the simpler choice. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Chicago, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Nashville to Chicago flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Nashville to Chicago. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy

Flying with children, families and groups from Nashville to Chicago

Families fly the Nashville to Chicago route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Chicago when you land

Navy Pier, an architecture cruise on the Chicago River, the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium, the 360 Chicago observation deck and Wrigley Field are what most travellers come to Chicago for. Chicago sits on Lake Michigan with the Loop's skyscrapers, the Magnificent Mile and the lakefront parks at its heart; O'Hare (ORD) is about 27 km north-west of the Loop and Midway (MDW) about 16 km south-west. Eat steak in River North, Greektown and Chinatown dinners and deep-dish pizza while you are there.

We offer tours and transfers in Chicago as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Nashville to Chicago

Flights from Nashville to Chicago run all year, 10+ a day. Summer is warm and lively on the lakefront; winter is cold with snow and wind off the lake; spring and autumn are short and pleasant; the Kennedy Expressway from O'Hare is slow at weekday rush hours. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Chicago to Nashville

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Chicago to Nashville booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Nashville to Chicago?

The cost of a flight from Nashville to Chicago depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Nashville to Chicago: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Nashville to Chicago is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our team applies on every booking:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Nashville to Chicago that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
