  • PIT Airport Overview
    Pittsburgh International Airport PIT is located in the Pittsburgh suburb of Findlay Township, approximately 20 miles west of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Exit 6 of PA-60 (Future I-376) and the Northern Terminus of PA Turnpike 576 (Future I-576). The Airport has a great reputation and has been ranked among the top airports in the U.S. and the world by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, J.D. Power and Associates and OAG (Official Airline Guide) in recent years. This can be credited in part to the airport’s easy-to-navigate hub and spoke gate system and the hundreds of shops and restaurants which are mandated not to overcharge its customers. With four runways, PIT airport is served by major airlines and several regional jet services offering countless nonstop and connecting flights to all parts of the world. Dominantly present is by US Airways, which uses the Airport as its largest domestic and international hub. In 2008 the Airport counted 8.7 million passengers.

    PIT Airport has two separate Terminals--the Landside and the Airside Terminal. Free WiFi access is available throughout all four airside concourses A thru D, the core and Airmall food courts, at US Airways Club & core. Travelex services are at Landside--(412) 472-5151 and Airside (1pm to 4 pm)--(412) 472-5158 and ATMs are scattered throughout the terminals. The Landside Terminal is closest to the parking areas and the entry point for those whose flights originate from Pittsburgh. It includes ticketing, 12 baggage claim areas (US Airways has 6), security checkpoints, shops, and ground transportation such as taxi, limo, and rapid transit. A Hyatt Regency Hotel is attached to the enclosed moving walkway. Travelers Aid desks are on the transit and baggage claim levels. After passengers pass through the security checkpoint, they board one of two underground driverless people movers traveling to the Airside Terminal, where all departure gates are located. The baggage claim is on the bottom level of the Landside Terminal. The Airside Terminal consists of four concourses A, B, C, & D holding the departure gates. In the center core is the majority of the AirMall shops with over one hundred shops to choose from. On the mezzanine level is the US Airways Club and a chapel. Eight rental car agency counters are on the baggage claim level of the Landside Terminal, with a short walk to pick up a rental car at the lower level of the parking garage (both pickup and return areas are on this level). Recently the Airport received a new baggage sorting facility used by U.S. Airways, eliminating the need for screening machines on the ticketing level. Pittsburgh Airport prides itself to have a Military Comfort Center, located at Gate A4, serving the traveling military and their families.

    Pittsburgh Airport offers on-site parking and usage of a GO FAST Pass account to pay for parking electronically at the airport. Go Fast Pass customers may register their E-Zpass transponders to use with the system, although billing and other aspects of the system are entirely handled by Grant Oliver. You have three parking options--short-term, long-term and extended (economy) parking. The Short Term garage is attached to the Landside Terminal via the enclosed moving walkway. The Long-Term section of the Garage offers quick access to the enclosed moving walkway. The Extended section does not have such access, but shuttles can be accessed from the Baggage Claim level of the Landside Terminal outside doors six and eight. Of course, for the harried traveler there is Valet Parking (412-472-3001) located next to the rental car return in the bottom level of the Short-term Parking Garage, a few steps from the passenger terminal--pull up to the valet kiosk and leave your cars with the valet attendant.
