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 beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
