ROCHESTER, Minn. – United Airlines is abandoning its Rochester-Chicago service for want of customers. The once-a-day 1:05 p.m. departure and 10:57 arrival end September 30. Twice-a-day RST-Denver service continues. Going to Chicago from Rochester? You’ll need to go Delta through Minneapolis or United through Denver. Alternatively: American has two daily direct flights from LaCrosse to Chicago.
One less option. Say goodbye to United’s 5136 with its 25-seat Canadair regional jets.
