BNA unveils PASSport program allowing non-ticketed guests to enjoy shopping and dining

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Even if you get to BNA early for a flight, sometimes it doesn't feel like enough time to check out all the new airport renovations have to offer. To help, BNA has rolled out a program that lets guests inside without a plane ticket.

It also allows people to go right up to the gate again to pick up their loved ones, something that hasn't been allowed since before 2001.

The BNA PASSport program allows access to post-security areas between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. seven days a week. Guests have to apply online at least 24 hours before. Only 75 people will be given a pass each day.

Those accepted will go through TSA normally and then are able to explore all the shopping, dining, art exhibits and gates.

The program began just in time for July 4 travel. A link to apply can be found here.

“Here’s a great story that proves everyone has something to give, regardless of age OR personal challenges. Our Austin Pollack introduces us to Ms Sylvia Mooney. At age 80, she’s not sitting still. Instead, she using her skills to craft compassion for others… one stitch at a time. Her crochet creations go to non-profits to help our homeless neighbors. You’ll be surprised to learn she does it all, while facing a serious health issue. Bravo Sylvia!”
