NASHVILLE (AP) — Nashville airport officials are warning travelers to be prepared for a heavy increase in the number of passengers flying out of Music City this week.

Officials say a large number of people attending conventions in Nashville will be flying out on Wednesday and Thursday, along with passengers on Spring break. As a result, officials are encouraging travelers to arrive at the airport at least two hours before their scheduled flight.

They are also advising people to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
