Arrival tips for Pittsburgh International Airport
At Pittsburgh, your plane arrives at one of the four airside concourses, A to D. Walk to the center of the airside terminal and cross the bridge to the new landside terminal, where baggage claim is.
If you arrive on an international flight, you clear US Customs and Border Protection at Concourse C, which handles international arrivals. If you are eligible, Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line.
Domestic passengers go straight across to baggage claim in the landside terminal.
Ground transportation leaves from the landside terminal. The Route 28X bus runs to downtown and Oakland, and rental cars are in the consolidated rental car center in the parking garage. If you are staying at the Hyatt Regency, take the free shuttle bus, since the hotel is no longer connected to the terminal on foot.
