About this Location

Facility Overview

The Long Term Parking lot at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is the primary long-stay surface parking facility serving commercial air travelers across Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and the West Virginia panhandle. Spanning dozens of paved acres directly south of the PIT Landside Terminal, this massive open-air facility is designed to offer a balance of economic convenience and terminal accessibility. Because the vast majority of spaces are situated in an uncovered, surface-lot configuration, there are no restrictive multi-level garage height barriers across the main parking bays. This makes the lot exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger sedans, full-size SUVs, extended cab pickup trucks, conversion vans, and vehicles outfitted with rooftop luggage racks or sporting carriers. The facility features a covered moving sidewalk that connects directly from the core of the Long Term lot across into the Landside Terminal, enabling passengers to reach check-in counters and security checkpoints without waiting for a shuttle bus.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Conveniently located on airport grounds in Moon and Findlay Townships, this facility serves as the strategic departure point for global flights, domestic business travel, and regional connections.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress to the Long Term lot are streamlined via Airport Boulevard, which feeds directly into dedicated toll plazas equipped with automated ticket dispensers and contactless payment scanners. The airport connects seamlessly to Interstate 376 (Parkway West) and the Pennsylvania Route 576 (Southern Beltway) toll corridor, offering swift access to Washington County, Beaver County, and the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Clear overhead digital signage indicates current stall availability and guides inbound motorists into designated numbered parking quadrants. On the ground transit connections are anchored right at the Landside Terminal, where Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) operates the 28X Airport Flyer bus route, providing frequent express transit service into Robinson, Downtown Pittsburgh, and the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon campuses in Oakland.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless travel experience, take note of your section letter and aisle number using your smartphone camera or an airport location reminder ticket upon parking. During peak holiday seasons such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and mid-summer travel rushes, lots can fill to capacity; consider checking real-time parking space availability on the airport official flight portal prior to departure. When returning during inclement winter weather, the surface lot is cleared continuously, but keeping an ice scraper in your vehicle is strongly advised. Drivers picking up arriving passengers who require short waits should utilize the complimentary Airport Cell Phone Waiting Lot near the entrance rather than parking in Long Term to avoid unnecessary daily parking fees.
