Nashville travelers are getting a new nonstop option to Mexico City-and every seat on the planned aircraft will be an aisle or window seat.
BNA announced November 9 that the Aeromexico-Delta Alliance plans year-round service four times a week. The first flight into Nashville from Mexico City is scheduled for June 13, 2027. The first flight leaving BNA for Mexico City is June 14.
That one-day difference matters if you are planning to depart from Nashville: June 13 is the inbound launch, not the first chance to board the new route at BNA.
The plane and the timetable
The airport says the route will use an Embraer 190 with 99 seats, including 11 in the Premier cabin. Its two-by-two seating arrangement eliminates the middle seat familiar on larger single-aisle planes.
Aviacionline’s November 9 schedule report lists these operating days and times:
- Nashville to Mexico City: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, departing at 9:30 a.m. and arriving at 12:05 p.m.
- Mexico City to Nashville: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, departing at 3:15 p.m. and arriving at 8 p.m.
All times are local to the respective airport. The days differ by direction, so a traveler should check both legs before choosing a hotel stay or making plans around a long weekend. Schedules can change before next summer; verify the final itinerary with the airline before booking.
A different Mexico connection
This is Aeromexico’s first service to Nashville, according to BNA. The Mexico City hub also offers onward connections, though reaching another city through that hub still involves changing planes.
It adds to an existing set of Mexico options. BNA’s November destination list includes Cancun, seasonal Los Cabos flights and Guadalajara. Mexico City is a separate destination, with the airport code MEX, rather than another name for one of those routes.
For Middle Tennessee residents with family, work or vacation plans in the Mexican capital, the practical change is the ability to begin that trip at BNA without a connecting airport. Four weekly departures also mean the new service will not fit every travel date.
Next summer’s international additions include the previously announced Air France route to Paris. The two announcements give local travelers more destinations to compare, but neither establishes that a nonstop ticket will cost less than a connecting itinerary.
