St Petersburg - Clearwater PIE Airport Overview

St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport PIE can be an alternative option to the very busy Tampa International Airport. The entire area is a favorite tourist destination and home of two of the top ten beaches in the continental U.S.  FDOT awarded the Airport recently the 'Commercial Service Airport of the Year' award (its criteria for the award included safety, aesthetics, and airport management). A recent New York Times column by Nate Silver found the Airport 'the most competitively priced small airport in the nation'.

The Airport is located on State Route 686 (Roosevelt Blvd), four miles north of St. Petersburg, Florida, between the metropolitan areas of Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Sarasota/Bradenton and Tampa, all situated on the Florida Gulf Coast, and it can be accessed from Interstate Hwy. 275 (exit 30 - 686/Largo), from Route 60 east (Gulf to Bay Blvd.), and from U.S. 19 south, exiting at SR 686 east.

With 865,942 passengers in 2012, St. Petersburg International Airport is served by a number of major airlines, offering direct flights to many U.S. cities, with connections to around the world (Allegiant being the dominant airline). It is also served by SunWing with flights to Toronto, and a number of charter carriers. Vision Airlines offers  flights to Gulfport-Biloxy (to Beau Rivage Resort & Casino). 

NOTE:  The Allegiant Ticket Counter is only open Mondays & Fridays 5-7pm; and Saturdays 2-4pm.
