Arrive Early at Airport after Steelers Home Games |
| |
|
Loyal Steelers Fans Fill Checkpoint Lines
It's no secret that Pittsburgh Steelers fans are some of the most loyal and well-traveled in the country.
No where is that more apparent than at Pittsburgh International Airport on mornings following home games. We love seeing folks sporting their black and gold!
The TSA advises travelers to allow extra time when flying out on the morning after a home sporting event because lines tend to be longer, and depending on a win or loss, the mood a little more or less jovial.
As we enter the busy holiday travel season, we remind travelers to arrive at the airport at least two hours before your departure time and to review rules for items allowed in carry-ons. Terrible towels are fine; souvenir pocket knives, baseball bats and hockey sticks are not.
As we cheer on the Pirates in the Wild Card game tonight, be also aware that Thursday morning traffic in the airport may be heavier than usual with all those sad Cubs fans departing.
As always, we appreciate your patience, and we thank you for flying and supporting our amazing sports traditions here in Pittsburgh!

Sign up for TSA PreCheck, Global Entry at Pittsburgh International Airport
If you don't have an up-to-date passport,
TSA PreCheck or Global Entry, now is the time to sign up-unless you love hanging out in lines of all kinds. Some changes on the horizon are likely to make flying more frustrating, but having the right tools could help prevent delays and headaches.
TSA PreCheck lines, which are meant to speed passengers through security,
are now only accessible to travelers who have paid $85 and completed the application process. The TSA had been filtering "low-risk" non-members into these lines, but you can no longer rely on luck to get out of removing your shoes and belt.

Pittsburgh Makes Top 10 List of Millennial-Friendly Cities |
| |
|
Millennials Dominating Housing Market in Pittsburgh, Other U.S. Cities
Roughly 60 percent of borrowers who used a mortgage to buy a home in Iowa's capital city during the first half of 2015 were aged 25 to 34, according to data from Realtor.com. That compares with a national average of 37 percent, and makes Des Moines the most millennial-friendly city in the U.S., with Pittsburgh coming in at number four.
What's attracting these young ones? Most of the cities have a low cost of living and turn out to be
a little hipper than they get credit for. That makes a difference as young homebuyers finally shake off the effects of the recession and enter the housing market.

Low-Cost Airline to Establish New Nonstop Flights, Base Crew in Pittsburgh
Travelers will have a new, low-cost option to popular leisure travel destination Orlando beginning Nov. 5 on

Allegiant will also further grow its Pittsburgh operation this fall when it begins operating charter flights to Punta Cana and Cancun on behalf of Apple Vacations.
Allegiant began service from Pittsburgh in February 2015 with ten weekly flights to three Florida destinations. Since that time, the community's enthusiastic response to Allegiant's low-fares has led the carrier to add summer seasonal flights to Myrtle Beach, and now nonstop flights to Orlando.
