Sherman, set the Way Back Machine for 2014! From the date, I’m guessing we were on our way back to Springfield for the 40th high school reunion, but this time instead of flying direct into Boston and driving north, we flew into Burlington via O’Hare and drove south.
One of my favorite places in the Burlington Airport is this pedestrian bridge between the main terminal and the parking garages. From here you get a nice view of the gates and runways (it’s not that big of an airport, a small fraction of the size of someplace like LAX or ORD, and even smaller than someplace like MCI or SAN) and to make it comfy for you while you’re waiting and watching planes, they have this row of extremely comfortable rocking chairs to use.
If you’ve rushed to get ready for your flight and hustled to get there early and have time to kill and unwind, or if you’re worn out from a long flight in and just need to breathe before your brother-in-law from Monteplier gets there to pick you up, it’s a perfect place to kick back and watch planes.
It’s almost enough to make it worth changing planes in Chicago or Newark to go into Burlington instead of Boston.
