Everything you need to navigate Burlington: the official terminal map link, what airlines fly from each concourse, how to move between terminals, and gate-finding tips that save you backtracking. Verify your specific gate on your boarding pass — assignments change.

The BTV airport authority publishes the most up-to-date map on its official website. Use the link below before you travel so you know the terminal layout and gate locations before you clear security.
Official map
Burlington official terminal map — airport authority website
Maps are updated when terminals are renovated or new concourses open. Terminal 5 at LAX, for example, has been closed since October 2025 for reconstruction — always confirm your terminal from your boarding pass rather than relying on a saved map.
Here is what each terminal or concourse at BTV handles — which airlines fly from it, the gate range, and key amenities to know before you go.
The single main terminal building holds airline ticket counters, TSA checkpoints for both the North and South concourses, baggage claim, ground transportation, and the Airport Business Office. Landside concessions here include Hudson News, The Chubby Muffin cafe, and a Skinny Pancake kiosk, plus a second-floor airport history exhibit and mezzanine seating with couches and coffee tables. This level connects to both concourses before security.
A brand-new concourse that opened in spring 2026 as part of the $68 million Project NexT renovation, replacing the old North Concourse. Built with mass timber and geothermal heating/cooling, it added four new gates and jet bridges. American Airlines primarily operates from Gates 1–3 and United primarily from Gate 4, though gates are shared with other carriers as needed. Two of the four gates were in use at opening while the old North Concourse gates next door were being demolished (work continuing through mid-to-late 2026). Post-security amenities include a Skinny Pancake North Terminal location and Kestrel Coffee on the second floor.
The original concourse, serving Delta Air Lines/Delta Connection, Breeze Airways, Sun Country, and overflow American/United traffic. Amenities include a Skinny Pancake South Terminal location. A future phase of Project NexT plans to expand the South Concourse to the second floor with additional dining and shopping.
A post-security Terminal Connector links the North and South concourses directly; the airport advertises the walk between them as taking about one minute, so passengers no longer need to exit security to reach gates on the opposite side.
Timing tip
Always allow 15–30 minutes for any inter-terminal transfer at BTV — wait times for people-movers, buses, or security re-screening add up faster than the physical distance suggests. Build the buffer into your Leave-By time, not your gate arrival time.
BTV is small and single-level for security, but is mid-construction in 2026: the new North Concourse (Gates 1–4) just opened while the adjacent old North Concourse gates are still being demolished. Confirm your gate and concourse (North vs. South) on your boarding pass rather than relying on memory of the old layout, and expect some signage/wayfinding to still be catching up to the change.
A few habits that prevent last-minute sprints:
Experienced travellers at BTV use a short checklist every time:

Your boarding pass shows the exact gate. Open your airline app about two hours before departure — gate assignments sometimes change after check-in closes. Look for departure boards throughout the terminal for real-time gate information.
