regional flights

Nearby destination trips

Regional flights are short-distance air routes connecting smaller cities to major hubs or linking nearby metropolitan areas.

They typically use smaller aircraft and cover distances under a few hundred miles: I took a regional flight from Burlington to Boston.

Regional flights serve communities too small to support direct long-haul service.
