Bradley International Airport, located 12 miles north of Hartford,
Conn., and 12 miles south of Springfield, Mass., markets itself
as a hassle-free alternative to big city airports (code for
LaGuardia and JFK). It boasts a convenient, central location
and a new, modern terminal with a traveler-friendly layout.
Also, due to its inland location, Bradley is often open when
the other airports on the eastern seaboard are closed due
to inclement weather. But, don’t let all the “big
city” talk fool you – Bradley is actually New
England’s second largest airport and is served by 10
major airlines and several regional airlines that connect
to numerous destinations in the Northeast, Canada and beyond.
