BDL

When landing at Bradley International (BDL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 06 means approaching from the southwest and touching down heading northeast, which puts the Connecticut River and Hartford's downtown skyline off to the right side of the aircraft. Left-side passengers mostly see rural Farmington Valley terrain with fewer distinct landmarks. Notable sights include: Connecticut River, Hartford skyline (including the State Capitol area), Windsor Locks farmland, distant Metacomet Ridge traprock hills to the west.
