Well that depends on what Norwegian do next.

So this is the first of the routes to be announced as a result of the reshuffle of domestic and euro routes.

I suspect there's a heap more long and shorthaul to be announced.

Huh? I don't see that this has anything to with a reshuffle. BA has long been considering adding new secondary US cities to the network following the likes of AUS, MSY etc. The question was which one would come next. It appears BNA has won out.

Great to see this. Few years too late for me after being based out there but great for going back to see friends. Hope it comes to fruition...

The amount of times this is suggested by the BA website above MANchester, they should do it

Agreed, so annoying!

Also stop all the bloody French airports coming up when trying to search for FRA!

Lots of construction at BNA right now. Currently building a temporary ICE facilities that will be used while the current one is rebuilt.

Just too late for us, having been there a month ago, but having to connect to BNA from ATL.

Brings up lots of Avios/vacation options, alongside the relatively new route to MSY (New Orleans).

More chance this time given that it's in the 10 top fastest growing cities in the US. I was there in June it's a lovely city.

PDX would be amazing.

If BNA comes through I'll be picking up an early release ticket I think....

I take it that there's no coincidence that a new route is announced alongside the rumour of a new A380 route also?!! The 2 threads have appeared at the same time, or is this the jiggling of aircraft on routes /timetables...
