Greater Rochester International Airport and vicinity.
The Greater Rochester International Airport (IATA: ROC), 1200 Brooks Ave (I-390 to Exit 18B or I-490 to Exit 6; follow signs) , is located just southwest of the city proper. It is a very nice medium-sized airport, newly remodeled in 2008, with three runways and two concourses. The airline with the most passengers is US Airways, but most of the major domestic carriers (Southwest is an exception) and low-cost airlines JetBlue and AirTran have multiple daily scheduled flights to and from their hubs. Flights are also available to and from fellow upstate cities Buffalo, Syracuse, and Albany, as well as seasonal direct flights to and from Orlando. AirCanada offers daily flights to and from Toronto.
Depending on the day of the week, JetBlue can have very good deals flying in from JFK in New York City.
From the airport, you'll probably use either a taxi or a rental car to take you to your destination. Most of the common car rental agencies have a presence here, and this is the only place in the city you can reliably find a taxi to hire. Bus service on RTS is available, but not convenient unless you're headed downtown. The other option is a hotel shuttle; many of the hotels on the west side of the city offer complimentary airport shuttles.
