Online Reviews Summary
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) has recently undergone a significant transformation with the opening of its new $1.7 billion terminal on November 18, 2025. Traveler sentiment is overwhelmingly positive regarding the modern, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing new facilities. While some past complaints existed, the new terminal aims to significantly enhance the overall passenger experience.
What Travelers Love
- Modern and Visually Appealing Terminal: The new terminal is described as clean, artsy, bright, and features a clear layout and signage, with design elements reflecting the Pittsburgh region.
- Streamlined Security Experience: The new, consolidated security checkpoint offers 12 TSA lanes, automated bin return, and allows travelers to keep their shoes on and liquids/electronics in their bags, leading to quick wait times, often as low as 5-17 minutes.
- Excellent Food, Beverage, and Retail: The airport ranks "extraordinarily high" in this category, with numerous new local and national concession options and renovated gate areas.
- Improved Parking Facilities: The new terminal garage provides 3,300 spaces, doubling covered parking, and uses modern technology like digital signs for real-time space availability, making parking significantly easier.
- Efficient International Arrivals: The new terminal promises a more efficient and faster experience for international arriving passengers.
Common Complaints
- Baggage Claim Delays: On the initial days of the new terminal's opening, some travelers reported waiting up to 45 minutes for their bags.
- Past Security Wait Times (Pre-New Terminal): Before the new security setup, early morning flights sometimes experienced "unreal" TSA lines and long baggage drop-off waits, occasionally causing missed flights.
- Loss of Walkable Parking Access: Some travelers miss the previous ability to walk directly from the economy parking lot to the terminal, as the new setup may necessitate shuttle use.
- Limited Overnight Amenities (Old Terminal): Prior to the new terminal, late-night and early-morning travelers often found few amenities open and a lack of comfortable sleeping areas or vending machines past security.
With its brand-new terminal, Pittsburgh International Airport appears to be significantly improving traveler satisfaction by offering enhanced facilities, more efficient security, and a better overall experience. The positive initial feedback suggests it's well-equipped for increased passenger traffic.
