Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport

Burlington, United States · North America

BTV is Vermont’s one-hall field in South Burlington — $14 garage leftover, Skinny Pancake leftover, five U.S. names, and no ticketed-pax lounge — as long as you treat the live American / Breeze / Delta / Sun Country / United page as current and leftover CCTA Route 12 as leftover.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Official leftover 2 hours; TSA 4:00 a.m.

Official TSA leftover is to be at the airport two hours before departure. Official pick-up leftover TSA checkpoint and ticket counters generally open at 4:00 a.m.

Official pages do not print a standing TSA close time. CLEAR, ConfirmID $45, and PreCheck enrollment are not on official BTV TSA / amenities pages. averageSecurityMinutes 12 on the score card is editorial unpublished.

One hall

North and south gates after one screening story

Official leftover Terminal Connector is live — you can walk between the north and south gates after TSA in about one minute.

Official leftover Mamava pods in both the North and South terminals. Official pages do not print a live airline-to-gate map — read FIDS. Do not treat PBG, MPV, or YUL as this campus. The Vermont ANG ramp leftover is not the passenger hall.

Food

Skinny Pancake plus Kestrel after TSA

Official leftover kitchens are The Skinny Pancake (operator leftover 5:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m. daily) and Kestrel Coffee Roasters post-security.

Official leftover three Skinny Pancake locations. Official leftover Hudson News landside first floor plus airside. Official leftover Better Box organic vending. Official pages do not print a bottle price or map a filler.

Live checks

Read American, Breeze, Delta, Sun Country, United

Five live names only. Official leftover dests are U.S. cities. Breeze leftover VRB is a BreezeThru through-ticket, not an extra BTV nonstop.

Wikipedia leftover AA LGA / AA ORD / Delta DTW and the search leftover Breeze JAX card are leftover vs the live 13 Sep 2026 airlines page. JetBlue leftover last flew BTV in 2024. Saturday 12 Sep 2026 leftover full-scale emergency simulation is leftover — not a live emergency.

Live conditions

Right now at BTV

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

Vermont and southern Quebec departures that would otherwise drive to MHT, BOS, or YUL
American, Delta, and United east-coast banks plus Breeze Florida leftover
Travelers who will use the $14 garage and skip a lounge plan

Watch out for

No passenger lounge; Game Zone leftover and the 1950s tower leftover are not clubs
Official leftover CCTA Purple Line #12 is leftover vs the live GMT schedule
Wikipedia leftover AA LGA / AA ORD / Delta DTW is leftover vs the live airlines page
Garage leftover 7-foot height; oversize leftover is Lot A with no printed daily rate
