Best time to take a flight

Hartford enjoys warm springs and autumn seasons, so taking a flight to Hartford around April and May, or in October could be ideal.

Autumn may trump the spring though, as it will give visitors a chance to see the glorious New England leaf-fall in progress. Summer is hot, but not overpoweringly so, but festivals like Riverfest can bring crowds.

You could try winter for cheap flights to Hartford and accommodation, but Connecticut can be chilly out of season.
