One terminal airport isn't large to me but it is probably the closest thing to one in the area.

BDL would satisfy OPs needs. I’m sure by “large” he means the availability and frequency of flights vs. how many terminals it has. It’s no LAX or Logan but for all intents and purposes it’s a large (for New England), modern airport.

Less…brother lives in Winchester, NH and never need more than an hour, either way. That said, assuming speed limit, probably puts it outside the hour window

Montreal is less than 2 hours drive from Burlington and about 80 minutes drive from places like St. Albans or Swanton.

80 minutes is greater than 60 minutes

Yeah, no shit.

OP appears to have no idea what they're talking about. If they want to live less than 60 minutes from a large, affordable, family friendly, safe airport then they should not be looking to live in VT. Burlington International Airport is a decent option, but it's not large, and not always affordable.

Montreal is, by far, the closest major airport to any place in the northern half of VT, 2 hours drive or less. Boston is a 2 hour drive from White River Jct or Brattleboro and 3.5 hours from Burlington.

Albany is a 1 hour drive from Bennington, about 2 hours from Rutland or Brattleboro, and 3 hours from Burlington. Though like BTV, I doubt most people would consider Albany to be a large airport.

Over the years we've shopped prices for flights and never has Albany airport come out the winner. We've flown out of BTV, sure, and we've driven to Montreal, Boston, and NYC more than once.
