A MR from BTV? Nice, it’s the first one I notice! That could well be my first "pure" MR. Thanks to the OP.

OP, did you price it using multi-city search on CO.com? Just a simple search only has BTW-EWR-IAH-PHX routing for the price you mentioned.

I did use ITA to find the route, and was able to book via expedia, one way, using multi-city tool...

i think the math is wrong. around 4200 eqm each way?
i did not know one could have 3 transfers. i was exploring btv ewr lax phx only. being in btv now, it can be useful.

So I count again and your're right... 4201 miles (considering 500 miles for BTV-EWR) each way so 8402 miles@ 322$, so 3.8 cpm
Sorry for the mistake (but that's stay an acceptable deal...)
(and thanks pdb456 for your observation)

the city of Burlington allows car to be park on the street with two exceptions.
1) there are street cleaning days, and car must be off the street (around late april to early May.) few streets at a time.
2) when it is after a snowstorm, they had to clean the street.

if you need to park now, 99% of the time, you car would be safe.

Burlington is a safe city. I have never had problem to park on the street. I had park my car for over 3 months during summer when I was gone!

But the Airport is in South Burlington, there is a bus service running from Burlington to South Burlington- check the bus schedule. I had walked from Burlington to the airport many times. took less than one hour. Unfortunately, I dont think one can park on the street in South Burlington near the airport [if someone tells me otherwise, I would like to know.]

Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately the 1st bus arrives at the Airport at 6:35am.
With a take off at 6:13am it won't be possible to do that...

Btw here are the schedules :
