In August 2021, the airport designated a plane spotting area at the end of Park Rd, near runway 06. The airport also requires spotters to complete a spotting permit form. Additional details, application form, and map to the area can be found [https://bradleyairport.com/learn/plane-spotting/ on the airport's web site].
For arrivals on Rwy 06 or departures on 24, you can catch some close-up action at the spectator lot at on the left side of Rwy 06. The lot is designed for spotters and spectators, so you don't need to worry about law enforcement. Be careful when the sun is facing toward you, however, because it'll make shots difficult. You may have the most trouble with early morning shots when the sun is coming up.
 
Directions:
From I-91, take exit 40 for the Route 20 Connector to the airport. When Route 20 splits off right before the airport, continue to follow Route 20. After the split, you'll pass the end of Rwy 06 on your right about 1/2 mile from the split. The lot is on the right immediately after Rwy 06.
