How delays work at ROC

A ground stop holds flights bound for ROC at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • The garage is the best choice for rainy days, since its skyway leads straight to security.
  • Use the cell phone lot for pickups, and do not wait curbside.
  • For hotel shuttle vans, use the courtesy phones on the lower level at the east or west end of the terminal, or call the hotel's number from the airport list.
  • Get a boarding pass before you leave for the airport, so you can go straight through to the checkpoint.
