For SAN–BNA we show about $119 on the low end and around $195 as a more typical one-way economy total, USD, last reviewed August 2026. A $119 one-way is a sale-shaped guide, not a fare you can screenshot and demand. Taxes, bags, and seats change what you pay on the seller site.
Search SAN to BNA on Azurovia, compare airline-direct and travel-site totals on the same flights, then finish with the seller. We do not ticket. Keep their confirmation for changes.
Distance and time SAN–BNA
Great-circle distance SAN–BNA is about 1,747 miles. Block time on a nonstop is typically near 4 hours; wind, routing, and which runway you use still move the clock. Connections on the same city pair add layover time on top of that flying.
Nashville is about 2 hours ahead of San Diego on standard time (America/Los_Angeles vs America/Chicago). Arrival clocks on BNA are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
When SAN–BNA has a nonstop, that is usually the cleanest product. One-stop options still appear — they are worth opening only if the USD total is materially lower after you count the extra ground time.
