| - Despite spending more time than I wanted to - in this airport - I have to admit that Pittsburgh International Airport was up there as being of my preferred airport experiences.
With a slew of flights being canceled, overbooked, or stalled - the staff at this airport did their best to keep their cool. Everything was backed up and hectic, but all of the airport staff, even those at the US Airways counter were as calm as could be, considering the circumstances, and did their best to be as patient as possible with angry tirades against them due to lousy airlines and flight predicaments.
One of the staff working the US Airways counter even nodded his head in agreement as he talked with a gentleman who had been bumped off the same flight as me. He said that even he thought it was poor practice of the airlines to overbook flights to the extent they were doing, and he was getting tired of picking up the pieces throughout the holidays.
Also - when I learned that I would be staying two nights longer than I planned to in Pittsburgh; the free wireless internet throughout much of the airport was perfect for allowing me to reschedule appointments. And since I had no luggage, the airport store selection was ideal for stocking up on late night toiletries, makeup, and even Victoria Secret bras and underwear. Even the food selection was pretty decent here.
So while I didn't necessarily enjoy most of airport time served here due to flight issues, Pittsburgh International Airport - definitely did it's best to make it as pleasant as any airport experience is going to be.
