Located in the southeastern section of Nashville, Tennessee, Nashville International Airport covers 4,555 acres and operates four runways. Established in 1937 as Berry Field, it has grown to become the busiest airport in the state. Today, it serves as a primary travel portal, processing more boardings and arrivals than all other Tennessee airports combined while hosting both commercial passengers and military operations at Joint Base Berry Field.
The airport features a single main terminal—the Robert C. H. Mathews Jr. Terminal—which houses five concourses. Concourse A is closed for reconstruction until 2028, while Concourses B, C, D, and T remain operational with 53 active gates. All uncleared international flights land at Concourse T, and gates C4 through C11 sit inside a dedicated satellite concourse, offering an organized layout for your journey.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at BNA
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
