Review from Gabriel M.
Lakeside, CA
Updated - 7/30/2009
Leaving, was ok...waiting area was very small for our flight.
check in was easy, getting through security was a breeze.
Bathrooms were nice, wifi wouldn't work
O when we were waiting for out flight we got their 2 hours earily like the planes tell you too....
their was a flight leaving at that moment, and they kept paging for a party of 2...no one showed so they locked up as the plane was getting ready to taxi away.
This Larry the cable guy comes RUNNING along saying where the f are they I still have 2 minutes plane doesnt leave till 218 its 216 wtf,
He was just going off!
starts yelling at some cleaning guy to get someone on the phone.
after like 30 minuets and 3 people telling him its to late,,,he finally takes off.
THEY TELL YOU TO GET THEIR EARLY
THEY BOARD 10 before they take off!
As he was arguing the plane taxid away and he was telling them to turn it around and pick him up!
well they bump him to the second flight my flight.
And we board the plane
we all sit down.
And just as they close the doors to take off he comes pushing in!
HE WAS THE LAST ONE ON! HE ALMOST MISSED HIS SECOND FLIGHT!!!
It was larry the cable guys ugly bastard brother taking his kid to his ex wife, no wonder hes divorced DUMB AS ROCKS!
O and the kicker...he sat right infront of us!
bitching about the air plane company IT WAS HIS FAULT!1 Previous Review: Show all »

I've only flown here once and have yet to leave so god know what kind of horrible travel nightmares still await me. However, I had a wonderful flight coming into PIT and the old man at the info booth was sooooo sweet!! He was like blah blah blah...let me tell you about my 5 grandchildren...blah blah blahhhh....so nice. He gave me a plethora of maps, coupons, information, and cute little stories about random things.
The 28X bus took me straight to CMU, no lost luggage, no delays! -

Love, love, love this airport. Is this wrong?
Reasons why:
1. Free WiFi
2. I love riding the tram!
3. The statues of Franco Harris and George Washington that greet me when I arrive. (Sums up Pittsburgh nicely) There's also a dinosaur one as well.
3. The shops - Gaps, Victoria's Secret, Nine West, more than enough to keep me entertained before a flight.
4. You are free to move around and are not restricted to one terminal since you go through security before you ride the tram. This is what I hate about most airports since food choices are so limited in the terminal I happen to be in.
5. The food court is huge and has several food options, plus the terminals have some food options as well. -

Got stuck here at 7, and all the resturaunts were closed. I've been here for 3 hours and haven't eaten all day. This is nonsense. Why would every business at an international airport close at 7?

There used to be a STAPLES here. How handy is that? Now it's some shop that sells PDAs. But there's a real drugstore (that sells toiletries, etc, not prescription drugs), which is practical and some shops and bars to waste time in besides.
Not that you'd need to. I used this airport a couple times a month for 4 years and not one, NOT ONE, delay. This airport has some sort of level 5 weather clearance or some such, which means plans can fly in and out in rain, sleet, snow, etc. Of course, if where you're going TO is a problem, there's not much they can do.
You know what they say, god speed. Also, there's public transportation that runs to downtown and Oakland - the PAT bus, that's Port Authority Transit, and it's easy, timely (tho' the ride itself is long - the airport is pretty far out of town), affordable and avoids the tunnel traffic that you'd probably have to sit in if you drove. Can't beat that. -

Spent a lot of time here recently thanks to some high winds in Boston...it's a perfectly decent small airport with excellent features such as a dinosaur skeleton and a Mr. Rogers exhibit!!! Bonus! I think it has a Benjamin Franklin statue as well...
Anyway, a perfectly pleasing experience in Pittsburgh. -

So when I arrived in and saw the stores to shop at, I thought "Hell yes I will arrive early for my return flight."
Okay...the Good:
-shopping. Seriously. There was a Gap in an airport. I love it. And so many places will actually box your stuff up and mail it home for you.
-Ease of moving around. It's nice that it isn't like some of the airports where the terminal is 9 miles long and you of course are at one end needing to get to the other end.
-It's pretty quick and cheap to get from the airport to downtown. I hate that some places have $75 taxi ride to get to the airport.
-Did I mention the shopping?
The Bad:
-Security sucks. I know, security sucks everywhere but this airport seemed to have the guards that were extra slow.
-The airport is old. It's not really attractive or comfortable. -

I really like this airport.
The good:
* Cheap long term parking ($7/day)
* cheap short term parking (I have only ever paid $1 to pick someone up),
* free wireless internet (though it didn't work on my PowerBook in the United gates, it worked in the food court and in my US Airways gates)
* Auxiliary screening checkpoint! They closed terminal E, but turned into an overflow screening area for busy times. Walk out the door by the United counter, across the (now closed) street, and you can get through security pretty quickly during busy times.
* Good signange
* More food options than just McDonald's and Random Sandwich Vendor
* Good layout. Getting around is really easy.
The bad:
* US Airways pulled out a lot of their operations, leaving the airport a bit underused. The airport shows a bit of wear for it. -

This is the best airport in all the land. Really. If you don't believe me you are probably from Cleveland or Baltimore or Cincinnati and you just hate it on principle.

Flew through here recently on SWA. Great experience both ways, really fast check-in check baggage, I was in my rental car in 15 mins, the airport is laid out well.
kind of sad to see it less busy, it used to be something.
flight was delayed 3 hours, i went over to fridays and had a mediocre mojito...weird choice i guess. good wifi. great airport.Listed in: Come fly with me...

Review from Alexis D.

Okay I was pissed that I couldn't get on an earlier flight back to SF from Pittsburgh but I guess I should give a one star review to Delta Airlines! So here I was - stuck in the Pittsburgh airport for 3 1/2 hours and because I drank way too many margaritas the night before drinking in the airport bars was a distant thought. I didn't want to drink anymore coffee or was really tired of reading about Paris' in jail conflict in every periodical I picked up so I'm walking around and stumbled upon some boutiques - I really appreciated being a girl at this moment - Nine West Shoes, Body Shop, Clinique cosemetics and the mother of all things Pink and Girly - a Victoria Secret's shop! The girls there were friendlier than most of the shops here in SF and so helpful too! I easily spent 2 hours here and managed to spend less than $50! Thanks Pittsburgh airport I hope to come here again for "business trips!"
