Flights to Pittsburgh
 

Pittsburgh is a mid-sized city located in western Pennsylvania at the junction of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River, which together form the Ohio River and shape the downtown area, nicknamed the Golden Triangle.

The city’s history is steeped in industry, particularly the steel industry, and it’s where wealthy men like Andrew Carnegie, Henry J. Heinz, and George Westinghouse made their fortunes. Lucky for the residents of Pittsburgh, Carnegie used some of his wealth to improve the city’s quality of life by establishing a library and several arts institutions, making Pittsburgh a cultural center for the state.

Pittsburgh is home to three professional sports teams. The Steelers have won six NFL championships, the Penguins have won five Stanley Cups, and the Pirates have won the World Series five times.

Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) has two terminals, called Landside and Airside, and four concourses serving 13 regional, international, and domestic airlines, including Delta Air Lines.

There’s a massage bar and military lounge in Concourse A, a Paint Monkey art studio and XpresSpa in Concourse B, and a children’s play area and a mother’s nursing lounge in Concourse C.

If you have time, be sure to check out the whimsical interactive art installation Fraley’s Robot Repair Shop in Concourse A.

When hunger strikes, options include Bruegger’s Bagels, Chick-fil-A, Cinnabon, Farm Fresh Deli, Green Beans Coffee, Penn Brewery, and The Strip Market.

Shopping options include Armani Jeans, Best Buy Express, Creative Kidstuff, GNC, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, PGA Tour Shop, and Metalsmiths Sterling.
