Again, many, many thanks to everyone for their input re: bna and hotels etc. I may try the pricline bid thing just to see what happens although I understand ifyou don't like the hotel you are stuck with it (is that true?).

Yes, if you do the "Name your price" and someone accepts, you are automatically charged and its nonrefundable, unless you choose the protect your trip option. They claim you have to provide a DRs note if you cancel, but I don't know how true that is.

Would it be best to make the 'name your price' reservation now or wait until we get closer to the date? The motel will need to have an airport shuttle and I'm not sure those are that reliable in Nashville.

I find the name your price more beneficial when you are in a big city and the hotels around where you need to be are luxury and in the $200+/night.

Honestly, I don't think you will save much over just booking a room exactly where you want. You are going to stay in a run of the mill hotel (La Quinta, Hampton, Days Inn, etc...) and those are already pretty cheap. I would imagine you will get something for $75-100/night.

The second will occur next weekend. CMA festival and Bonnaroo are the same weekend this year. I once few out on the Monday following this and the airport was insane with the mix of rock festival and country music fans. Everyone was cool, but it was indeed an odd mix.

OK, maybe the last question for a while; Does anybody know how you get from the baggage claim area of the airport to the rental car garage. I know it is close but do we need to wait for a shuttle or can we grab the bags and walk there? I thought the flynashville website said it was within walking distance from the baggage claim area. Anybody know for sure?
Thanks again to everybody.

I am hearing rumors that Nashville will be upgraded by Southwest to a "mega" station with 100+ flights/day (I think we currently have around 85). Anyone heard or can confirm this? Would be great news. Thanks!
