In addition to the spectator lot at the end of Rwy 06, you can also get some head-on and underbelly shots from the hill across the street. If you look across Route 20 from the spectator lot, you'll see the hill right under the approach path. You can follow the little road that is next to it and pull off and park. Then, just walk up on the hill and shoot away. You can also catch departures on 24 here.<br />

Directions: From I-91, take exit 40 for the Route 20 Connector to the airport. When Route 20 splits off right before the airport, continue to follow Route 20. After the split, you'll pass the end of Rwy 06 on your right about 1/2 mile from the split. The hill and road are on the left across from the end of the runway.

There are 2 Terminals BDL, A and B. Terminal A has a new section, which has been in operation since 2003, and is very nice and modern. Renovations are still in progress on the older terminals. Airlines in the new part of Terminal A are Delta/Song, Southwest, Continental, Northwest, and America West. The old part of Terminal A serves United and US Airways. Terminal B serves American, Air Canada Jazz/Air Alliance, and charters; it also used to serve Independence Air before they went bankrupt. There is also a new International Arrivals Building just next to Terminal B which processes the tourist charter flights that come in from international destinations. One can walk through all the terminals if they wish, as there is a connecter between terminals with big windows which give a view of the airfield. The international arrival's building is the only passenger facility separated from the rest of the airport. There is also a Sheraton Airport Hotel with an entrance from the terminal connector walkway, as well as from the outside roadway.
