It’s kind of funny how small Burlington International Airport is, considering it’s the main airport for Vermont, not to mention an international airport. In actuality, “international” is just for cargo, and this little domestic airport is a breath of fresh air if you’re used to big airports. This airport is not only manageable, it welcomes people who want to view the takeoffs and landings. This is a great – and free – activity for anyone who loves planes. Young or old, the magic of seeing a plane take off or land is mesmerizing, and this airport in VT is the best place to watch aviation at its best.
