Airport travel guide

Pittsburgh International Airport is the second-busiest airport in Pennsylvania. It serves both the Pittsburgh metro area and the rest of western Pennsylvania.
The Steel City is an often overlooked, but great destination for travelers. The city has reinvented itself since the steel mills closed down and is now a place of high tech, education, healthcare, and finance. Its sports teams are renowned not just in the US, but across the world. And if history is your thing, then there's plenty of it to explore in the city.
