PIT Named TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Favorite for Shopping

Aug. 24, 2016

Pittsburgh International Airport has been named a 2016 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Favorite for U.S. Airports in the Medium Airports Shopping category based on global feedback from the TripAdvisor community.

Pittsburgh International features a modern retail program catering to the needs of business and leisure travelers alike. Offerings range from top local and national brands including Sportzburg, Nine West and Three Rivers Harley Davidson to unique luxury retailers including Armani Jeans, Hugo Boss and Tumi. All stores have guaranteed street pricing.

“Pittsburgh International has long been known for its shopping and noted by travelers for the value of its shopping facilities,” said Allegheny County Airport Authority CEO Christina Cassotis. “We are striving to better reflect the vibrant city and region we serve, and we are pleased that travelers have taken notice of the improvements thus far.”

Earlier this year, Pittsburgh International received awards from Airports Council International-North America and Airport Revenue News for innovative concessions programs. The airport was also nominated as a USA Today 10 Best Airport for Shopping.

The inaugural Travelers’ Choice Favorites for U.S. Airports highlight the most popular domestic airports in the categories of large airports, medium airports, shopping and dining. Award winners were determined based on findings from a survey of more than 114,000 TripAdvisor travelers.

“A traveler’s experience at an airport is a critical component of the trip – it sets the mood,” said Bryan Saltzburg, senior vice president and general manager for TripAdvisor’s global flights business. “From major travel hubs to smaller airports, these Travelers’ Choice award-winners earn high marks from the TripAdvisor community.”
