Is this perhaps a codeshare numbering issue? Sometimes airlines don't update codeshare numbers very rapidly, usually the prime aircraft timings have changed or some such and it takes a while for someone to register the codeshare under the new timings. Usually the problem is at the AA end!

Sad to say and sad to see, but those few blocks of lower Broadway is like a human toilet - if you're wanting the night life much better to go to the 4 venues at Cannery or head into east Nashville.
They even played the Birdy Song in one place

I’ve had amazing times in Nashville - your right lower Broadway isn’t a highlight (although had fun for a few drinks) - we normally head over to The Gulch - had some incredible food in the restaurants over there and the surrounding streets and The Thompson Hotel is still of my Nashville favs.

Not only is the flight going 7X weekly beginning March 2019, but the aircraft is being upgraded to 787-9 with 8 First Class Seats in addition to Club World and Economy. Seems like the route is doing well after only 8 months.

I am on this flight in early June (LHR - BNA) in Club World. I noticed the aircraft change, as BA changed my seat to 7A. I panicked until I read that CWS prefers this seat, so it’s got to be good.
I was was thrilled to find AA award availability directly into Nashville.

I did see the good value prices for CW and First on this route in the BA sale and thought it might not be doing so well for the Premium seats.
Seems as though the addition\l frequency is more likely the reason for the sale prices.

I have recently flown from SVO while BA for years has been using DMD. Any guesses why they decided to bring back SVO?
PS. Not all of the experience was good. I can share if there is any interest....

Taking this flight soon - tips/info?
A couple of questions about this route, which we'll be flying on Sunday.
1. I realise there is no such thing as a guarantee at T5, but is there any data on where BA223 tends to fly from (A, B or C gates)? We've only got just under 2 hours between our scheduled arrival from INV and the departure for BNA, so knowing would be helpful in plotting whether to aim for the B gate lounge.
2. It will actually be my first time in Club World, though I've been in AY and QR business before. I have taken a look at the Tips for Maximising the Club World Experience post, but that is now over 9 years old and I realise there have been a few changes since then! Is there a more up to date guide, or does anyone have any tips?
For example, for a flight of this duration (~9 hours), leaving just before 3pm, how's the food service laid out - a late lunch and a dinner later, or nothing until dinner then a snack before landing? I have a feeling I've seen another thread which discusses this kind of thing but I can't seem to find it...
This is actually our outward flight for a musical road trip (Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans) so I'll probably do a full Trip Report.
Thanks in advance!

It will probably leave from T5B, and in any event that is the lounge you should use if you know about the Passageways (see Forum Dashboard). But yes, it can leave from A, B or C.
You will get a main meal around 90 minutes after departure, with drinks before; and a light meal, including a hot option, about 90 minutes before arrival. Manage My Booking should give some clues when you are within a month of departure.
