Heading to Memphis and Nashville the first week of August. Looking for good, user friendly, GA airports/FBO’s in each city. Thanks.

+1 for Dewitt Spain in Memphis. Extremely helpful people at FBO, close to downtown.

I am based in Memphis and you really can't beat M01, Dewitt Spain for heading downtown. AWM, OLV, NQA - they all have their place for different reasons. Tune is a slam dunk in Nashville. I did fly into BNA last weekend and was pleasantly surprised with how that went. Controllers were fantastic and Signature treated me very well (fuel prices hurt) but I have also been to PCB and Destin in the last month and those prices have made 6.50/gal seem tolerable lol, Smyrna is fine, but a little ways out to Nashville proper.
I second the vote Tune for Nashville and Dewitt Spain for Memphis as stated above though.

Another option for visiting Memphis is KAWM. I rent a T hangar out there. They cater to primarily business travelers. I haven't tried car rental, but it's 15 minutes straight shot East on 40 from KAWM to get to Memphis. You go right by Walmart and Kroger if you need anything on the way into the City. Six thousand foot Cat 1 runway.

Depending on where in Nashville you're going, M54 (Lebanon) is another good option. I was just there for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it was perfect. Easy in/out, brand new terminal/FBO building, and cheaper fuel than BNA, which is where I've always gone in the past.
