pittsburgh international airport

I've used the Pittsburgh International Airport on several occasions and have found each trip to be a pleasant experience. They have an extensive Air Mall featuring retail stores and boutiques on the air-side terminal. An underground shuttle carries travelers between the land- and air-side terminals. There are also plenty of food options at this airport, but they are spread out along each of the lettered terminals. more

how often does someone praise an airport? almost never, but pittsburgh international airport is unique: a well-organized place with a great shopping mall to while away the hours. the airport is divided into 2 sections: landside and airside. after you check in and go through security on landside, you take a speedy monorail to airside. all gates, a-d, are reached by this monorail; no switching to buses like in philadelphia. you get on the rail on one side, face the opposite wall, and get off on the opposite side. no pushing between on/off passengers like in atlanta. the airmall has great shops: the gap, victoria secret; even a day spa and, best of all, prices are competitive with off-site shops. no being gauged like at laguardia. if only usairways hadn't left there might even be passengers to enjoy the ride. more
