| - I lived in Pittsburgh for about three years, and, as a frequent flyer, this airport practically became my second home. Overall, it's not a bad airport -- Not great, but not bad either.
The pros:
-- Super easy to get in and out of. The on-site parking is quite manageable. Even pick-ups and drop-offs are typically headache-free.
--Security is usually a quick and painless process. Yes, TSA is a pain at times, but their asshattery is a little less prominent here.
--A Rite Aid is in the terminal. Go here for CHEAP water (On sale, sometimes it's only 50 cents a bottle. Yes, 50 cents at an airport!!!) and CHEAP snacks.
--Rarely crowded
--Car rentals are on site, making the rental and return process quick and easy.
--Super cool T-Rex skeleton near the escalators heading up to the terminal. RAWR!
Cons:
--Food selection isn't fantastic. But, what did you expect from an airport?
--Really dated décor that certainly doesn't infuse the place with a happy, airy vibe.
--The seats of some chairs are quite worn and cracked .
--The shops and restaurants are not open late. So, if you get massively delayed, you better have planned ahead and brought a sandwich or somethin'.
--Awfully slow baggage claim. Like, reaaaallly slow.
All in all, not a bad place to fly in and out of.
