Security lines at Pittsburgh International Airport are generally short and relatively fast compared to larger hub airports. However, passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before a domestic flight. Keep in mind that security lines may be longer during peak travel times such as early mornings and evenings. Conversely, during off-peak hours, such as midday or late at night, security lines tend to be shorter, resulting in a quicker process.
RIDE SHARE:
Uber, Lyft, and zTrip are authorized to pick up and drop off passengers at Pittsburgh International Airport. These popular ride-share services are accessed through smartphone apps. Pick up is at the designated area outside of Door #4 on the commercial curb.
BY TAXI:
One-way fare between Pittsburgh International Airport and Downtown is about $40. Upon arrival at the airport, proceed to the landside terminal, lower level, exit through the "commercial" doors and head toward the taxi stand area on the curb where cabs are waiting.
RENTAL CAR:
Unless you have prior approval, DRI will not reimburse you for expenses of car rentals or parking for rental cars. For those interested in renting a car at their own expense, there are several car rental agencies at Pittsburgh International Airport.
