CHICAGO — A United flight from O'Hare to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport returned Monday morning to Chicago after a threat was found written on a bathroom mirror aboard the aircraft, according to the airline.

The threat was determined not to be credible, United said. Flight 265 was scheduled to depart at 6:30 a.m. and was carrying 131 passengers and five crew members on an Airbus A320.
