About

Arriving at Pittsburgh International Airport

Pittsburgh International features a unique layout with an airside terminal connected to the landside building by an underground people mover. All passengers funnel through this system to reach baggage claim, which can add time after landing.

The airport underwent a major terminal modernization and is well positioned along the Parkway West. However, the 20-mile distance from downtown means you need to plan ahead. A landing text gives you enough lead time to make the drive and arrive right on schedule.

Pickup tip

PIT is 20 miles west of downtown Pittsburgh. The drive can take 25-40 minutes via I-376. Use a landing alert so you don't arrive too early and circle the terminal.
