Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denver to Burlington. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. At departure you get the full Rocky Mountain Front Range panorama, and at arrival you get Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains. The right side offers the high plains eastward at departure and the Adirondacks at arrival — both less dramatic than what the left side delivers.

During takeoff from Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. DEN typically departs east on runway 16R/34L or uses eastward runways, then turns northeast toward Burlington. A left-side seat captures the Front Range of the Rockies as the aircraft climbs and banks northeast — you get a sweeping view of the entire mountain wall from Pikes Peak in the south to Longs Peak in the north. The Denver metro grid is also clearly visible below on the left during initial climb. Notable sights include: Front Range Rocky Mountains (Longs Peak, Pikes Peak), Denver metro grid and downtown skyline, Cherry Creek Reservoir, Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge wetlands.

When landing at Burlington International (BTV), sit on the Left side for the best views. BTV approaches from the south or southwest on runway 33, meaning the aircraft descends over Lake Champlain from the south. A left-side seat looks east toward the Green Mountains of Vermont, which are the dominant visual feature on approach. The Burlington waterfront and the broad expanse of Lake Champlain are visible directly ahead and to the left. Notable sights include: Lake Champlain (broad and elongated running north-south), Green Mountains of Vermont to the east, Adirondack Mountains of New York to the west across the lake, Burlington waterfront and city grid.

The flight from Denver International (DEN) to Burlington International (BTV) takes Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours.

The flight tracks northeast across the Great Plains of Nebraska and Iowa — largely flat agricultural land with the Missouri River visible as a winding brown ribbon near Omaha. Over Illinois and Indiana the landscape is intensively farmed with a dense grid of roads and towns. Lake Erie may be visible on the northern horizon over Ohio or Pennsylvania depending on exact routing. The Appalachian ridges of Pennsylvania appear as parallel forested folds before descent into Vermont — these are the Allegheny Plateau and then the lower Taconic and Green Mountain ranges.
