Greater Rochester International Airport

Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC), serving Rochester, NY and the Finger Lakes region, opened in the late 1920s (around 1928) and operates from a single main terminal with a couple of concourses, making it a comfortable mid-sized airport for regional and domestic travel. ROC is an important gateway for upstate New York, offering frequent connections via carriers such as American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Southwest and low-cost operators like Allegiant and Avelo; it’s not a major hub but supports several focus-city routes. Conveniently located near I-490/I-390 with public transit links and airport shuttles, ROC is generally considered affordable compared with larger East Coast airports, with competitive fares and seasonal deals for leisure travelers.
