When should I leave to pick someone up at BNA?
BNA explicitly warns that curb readiness depends on more than the flight clock: deplaning, restroom stops, baggage, food stops, and terminal congestion all affect when a traveler reaches the meeting place. The useful driver cue is direct contact from the traveler, not a fixed number of minutes after touchdown.
