You're in for a bit of a treat on the way back as well, actually. The airport at BTV is lovely. Free wifi, a reasonably priced restaurant with a view of the runway (landside, floor 2), giant Adirondack chairs and some of the friendliest staff you'll ever meet.
I once missed the last flight of the day there. Entirely my fault.
All I said was, "I missed my flight..." and the check-in agent immediately said "Oh no!" and gave me a confirmed seat on the first flight the next morning at no charge. She offered to arrange a distressed traveller rate at the DoubleTree, and told me that if I stayed at the airport and wanted any coffee, I could just "jump over the check-in desk and knock on the door. We'll be here until two."
That's how friendly the staff are.
