    Last week I was in the airport sitting in my favorite restaurant. I overhear another couple talking about a restaurant closing. To my surprise and disbelief, it was the one I stop in every week! They are closing MY favorite restaurant! What is wrong with this airport? They already don't use half the gates because of limited service. Is the airport charging too much to try to make up the difference of lost flights?

     

  • Currency Exchange

     

    Does the currency exchange on the lower level of the airport sell Japanese Yen?

     

  • Airside Exits

     

    I seem to recall being able to go outside of the Airside terminal to smoke not so long ago. In other words, I think I did not have to go all the way to the Landside terminal via the tram. I did redo security, but I think it was in the Airside terminal. Help, please. Thank you.

     

  • Gas Station?

     

    Is there a gas station to top off my rental car close by?

     

  • AIRLINE TERMINALS

     

    THE LAYOUT DOES NOT SPECIFY HOW TO GET TO A SPECIFIC AIRLINE GATE/CHECKIN/CONCOURSE. How can/do I find southwest ticket level?

     

  •  

    According to the map I don't see how to get from the airside terminals to the main landside terminal for baggage claim and ground transportation - anyone know?

     

  • Directions

     

    How do you get from Airside Terminal A to the Landside Terminal for Baggage Claim??

     

  • Schedules

    To find your way around PIT's Level 1 Baggage level, keep in mind that the baggage carousels A-F are on the north side and carousels J-M, P & R, as well as the badging office are to the south. The center of the floor has on the east side an Express shuttle stop outside the door, and inside rental car desks & Travelers Aid station; to the west ist has more rental car desks, a Visitor Center, an ATM and two boarding pass kiosks.

    The XpresSpa at PIT Airport offers massage, facials, manicures, etc. at Concourses A (472-5136) and B (472-537).

    The passenger terminal at PIT Airport is divided into a 4-level landside building, whose Baggage Level is on level 1, Transit Level on level 2, Ticketing Level on level 3 and Mezzanine Level on level 4. An Arrival curb at the baggage claim level and a Departures curb at the Ticketing level. After security check, passengers board an underground people mover to the airside building, which houses Concourses A to D & their gates (C gates have Immigration, Customs and security checkpoint a level below) surrounding a three-level hexagon that includes the International Arrivals, the Airmall and the Mezzanine.

    You find the US Airways Club on the Mezzanine Level of the Air Terminal.

    Unlike other major US Airports, Pittsburgh is offering low parking fees - and you can now set up a 'Go Fast Pass' account via major credit cards. You'll get a small elecronic tag which will be installed inside of your windshield. Thereafter you won't need a ticket when you get into the airport, and when you exit the Go Fast Pass lane, your parking fee will be automatically charged to your credit card.

    An enclosed moving walkway gets you to from the landside terminal to the Hyattt Regency Hotel.
