Clean, bright, and well-organized; there are a range of dining options from a quick snack at McDonald's to a "fast casual" meal at one of the dine-in restaurants here. The wi-fi is free and actually works, and this is one of the few airports I don't mind waiting in because it is so comfortable. There is excellent shopping here and it is fun to check out Bath & Body Works or The Gap while waiting for a flight. There is a huge mall, yes, I said mall, with phenomenal stores located AFTER security in the main hub of the terminal. Pittsburgh has one of the first airports to recognize that folks would like more shopping options than a bottle of water, a cup of coffee and a magazine. Another plus is NO sales tax on clothing (Pennsylvania law)!

The short-term Pittsburgh Airport Parking, by the way, is very cheap: $1 for the first hour; the long-term parking is as expensive as you would expect for an airport lot. It's a good 25 minutes away from downtown, though, and I know there's really nothing to be done about that other than to build another one closer, which will probably never happen. So I guess the only other option is to move to Robinson or Moon. Unless  you snag yourself a hotel and parking package so you can spend the night before in one of the Pittsburgh International Airport hotels here, and leave your car there for free over your vacation.
