Rochester (ROC) Airport

Greater Rochester International Airport ROC is located four miles southwest of the city of Rochester, in Monroe County, New York, 12 miles south of Lake Ontario bordering on Canada. It is accessible via Interstate Hwy. 390 to Exit 18 (Brooks Av. West), or from I-90, Exit 46 (ROC) north on I-390 to Exit 18. Noteworthy is that the AAAE has recently awarded ROC Airport an aaward in recognition of 'outstanding performance in show and ice control', and that the Airport is now among national leaders for more affordable airfares, ranking it as 'One of the Nation's Most Affordable Airport'.
With three runways and an estimated 2.5 million passengers a year, the airport is served by major airlines and regional jet services offering nonstop flights to most hub airports in the eastern United States & Canada, with connections worldwide.
It is anticipated that the merger of United-Continental may deny Rochester travelers an uncongested alternative to O'Hare Airport; however the upcoming merger of Southwest-AirTran, expected to be completed by mid-2011, will offer Rochester Airport access to more destinations, particuarly to Chicago-Midway, a low-fare airport.

The Fairfield Inn by Marriott Rochester Airport (1-866-237-5979 or 529-5000) is within walking distance of the passenger terminal, offering a 'Park & Fly' package.

The passenger terminal at Greater Rochester International has ticketing and boarding gates on the upper level and baggage claim and rental cars on the lower level. To improve the flow of passengers in the terminal, the airport constructed a centralized security checkpoint to replace the checkpoints at each concourse entrance.
Among its services and amenities are: free internet access throughout the terminal, an information center, ATM, restaurants, bars and lounges, shops, checkpoint mailers, mail facilities, TTY & ITY phones; interfaith chapel, shoe-shine service, a conference room for 20 people with kitchenette and equipment, and the Frontier Business Hub with private work stations with data ports, telephone and free internet access.
Of interest is the terminal's art collection showcasing regional artists. One eye-catching piece is the Brass Tree by local artist, J. Pat Bucey. It is a nine-foot tall tree made of brass and adorned with over five thousand shimmering brass leaves.
