Travel context
Travelers comparing flight options inside Tennessee should look beyond the obvious large_airport entry. Many travelers reflexively book through the biggest airport in their state, but for short-haul itineraries a closer medium_airport or small_airport can shave an hour off the total door-to-door time even when its ticket price is slightly higher. The opposite is also true for long-haul or international travel, where the broader carrier selection at the large_airport typically wins on both price and routing.
For multi-airport metropolitan areas, and several states have them, pay attention to which carrier alliance dominates each airport. A traveler with frequent-flyer status on one alliance will usually find the better experience at the alliance's home airport, even at the cost of a slightly longer drive.
