Getting to your favorite Emerald Coast beaches just got easier.

With Southwest’s new nonstop flight from Louisville (SDF) to Nashville (BNA), travelers now have quicker, more convenient access to top Florida panhandle destinations like Pensacola, Panama City Beach, and Destin.

The best part? This quick 50-minute route from SDF to BNA runs daily (except for Saturdays), making planning a breeze.

Why it matters:

This new service makes it easy to catch a connecting flight and be at the beach in just a few hours.

Whether you're planning a weekend trip or a full vacation, it’s a faster way to reach the coast — and a great way to escape the snowy Derby City winters.

Convenience? Yes, please.

Top destinations made easier through BNA:

Pensacola, FL | Immerse yourself in the rich history and charming historic architecture.
Panama City Beach, FL | Experience 27 miles of white-sand beaches and beautiful Gulf waters.
Destin, FL | Discover the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" with plenty of recreational opportunities like diving and snorkeling.
