In the dead of winter, a lot of people in Maine are looking to escape the cold and visit somewhere warm and preferably tropical. But what often holds people back from booking that trip is the ease in actually getting to their destination and back.

Thankfully, Maine is home to international airports that should make getting to those premium destinations a little bit easier. And one of those airports has recently been named one of the best small airports in America.
