Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Burlington to Denver. Left side wins both ends of the flight. At takeoff you get Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks; at landing you get the full Rocky Mountain Front Range panorama. During cruise over the Midwest the views are less dramatic on either side, but the left side also gives slightly better angles on the Great Lakes region early in the flight.

During takeoff from Burlington International (BTV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Burlington, runway 33 (northwest) is common, and a left-side seat gives you Lake Champlain stretching south and the Adirondack Mountains across the lake in New York. The Green Mountains are also visible to the east on the right, but the lake-and-Adirondack combination on the left is more dramatic. Notable sights include: Lake Champlain, Adirondack High Peaks (including Whiteface Mountain), Burlington waterfront, Champlain Valley farmland.

When landing at Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching Denver from the east on runway 34L/35L (northwest heading), the left side gives you a direct, unobstructed view of the entire Front Range — the Rocky Mountains from Pikes Peak in the south to Longs Peak in the north — spread across the western horizon as you descend over the plains. The right side faces east toward flat eastern Colorado with little of interest. Notable sights include: Rocky Mountain Front Range, Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, Denver city skyline.

The flight from Burlington International (BTV) to Denver International (DEN) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes.

The flight tracks west-southwest over upstate New York, then across Lake Erie or Lake Ontario depending on routing, over northern Ohio and Indiana, across the flat agricultural plains of Illinois and Iowa, the Missouri River valley, and the increasingly arid shortgrass prairies of Nebraska and eastern Colorado before the Front Range comes into view on descent.
