Holding Patterns: Say Goodbye to the 10-Minute Waiting Area
If you have ever had to pick up a friend or family member from Nashville International Airport (BNA), then you have most likely spent time in the 10-minute waiting area outside baggage claim. This waiting area is free to use, is convenient and allows you to park right outside the terminal doors to wait the arrival of your friend or family member. But soon, the 10-minute waiting area will be no more.
BNA Parking Renovations
The Nashville International Airport has recently announced major renovations to the airport’s parking areas, including doing away with the 10-minute waiting area, $75 million in parking garage renovations and a new cell phone waiting area. All of these renovations are part of a $240 million, five-year capital improvement project to BNA’s parking facilities that will begin in mid-2016 and finish by 2020.
What This Means
The expansive renovations to Nashville International Airport’s parking facilities comes at a cost, with parking prices expected to rise. A report by Nashville airport officials estimates a $1 increase to the maximum daily parking rates, which are currently $24/day for airport valet parking and $16/day for onsite long-term parking.
