Baggage Claim
Baggage Claim at the Pittsburgh International Airport is conveniently located in the lower level of the Landside Terminal. Once your plane arrives, just follow the signs to Baggage Claim which will include riding the tram from the Airside Terminal to the Landside Terminal, and heading directly down the escalator in front of you after you pass around the security checkpoint. Once you arrive in Baggage Claim, you will find overhead monitors to your right and left. US Airways baggage all comes in on one side and the other side is for all other airlines. If you have oversized luggage such as skis, golf clubs, car seats and large boxes and don't see them arrive with the rest of your luggage, then be sure to check the special carousels set aside for oversized luggage.If your luggage doesn't arrive or if there is damage, then the airlines also offer baggage claim offices right in the baggage claim area.
Ground Transportation
Ground transportation at the Pittsburgh Airport operates out of the lower level of the Landside Terminal, in the Baggage Claim area.- Car Rental - Car rental counters are located on the Baggage Claim level of the Landside terminal and offer rentals from major agencies, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National and Thrifty. From the rental counter, it is just a short walk to pick up your rental car in the lower level of the airport's attached covered garage. This is also where you will return your rental car at the end of your stay.
- Taxis & Shuttles - Taxis and shuttle services can be found just outside the doors of the Baggage Claim level. Check the signs before you exit, because one side of the building is for ground transportation, and the other side is for people picking up arriving passengers. Taxi companies at the airport include Checker Cab and Yellow Cab. The airport also offers several shuttle services. You can arrange for this service at the desks inside the Baggage Claim area. Some area airports also operate free shuttle service between their hotel and the airport.
- Public Transportation - For inexpensive transportation to and from the airport, the 28X Airport Flyer bus runs to central Pittsburgh and Oakland. Beaver County Transit (BCTA) route 6 serves Rochester and Robinson.
Picking Up Arriving Passengers
You may pick up passengers at the arrivals curb directly outside of baggage claim. You will not be able to stop and wait here in your vehicle, however, so this option is best for passengers who have already arrived and are waiting for you outside. If you need to wait for your party, park your car in short-term parking (it's only $1 for the first hour) and wait for your party at the security gate or inside of baggage claim.Tip! Before you leave to pick-up someone from the airport, check the Flight Arrivals page on FlyPittsburgh.com to see if the flight is one time and which baggage carousel will be used.
