LACROSSE, Wis. — The number of air travelers in and out of LaCrosse is doubling. United Airlines announced plans to add four roundtrip flights a day to its Chicago hub beginning in May. Assigned to the service are CJR-200s and CJR-500s. The planes each have 50 seats in a 2-2 configuration. United didn’t announce fares immediately. The airline had abandoned many reginal routes, including LSE, during the CoVid economic slowdown.  The new LaCrosse flights are part of United’s expanded regional service that also includes Bloomington, Champaign/Urbana, Kalamazoo and Lansing. Meanwhile, American is continuing its thrice-daily LaCrosse-Chicago flights.
