Just curious, but was there ever a nonstop flight from PIT to KCI MCI? 10/29/78 - 1/6/80 - TWA 1x. 12/15/78 - 3/15/80 - Braniff 1x. 9/14/81 - USAir, 2x one-stops; 6/15/82, 2x nonstops begin, had as many as 5x; ends 11/2004. 12/15/83 - 8/31/88 Eastern’s MCI hub - 1-stops operated to/from PIT between...

I remember when the new terminal opened at PIT back in the early 90s, they had an open house and you can tour a new plane. My memory is pretty hazy but I believe it was a USAir 737 or maybe a 757 and it had seatback IFE ability to play video games. As a kid I thought that was the coolest thing. A ye...
Jump to postThose WN LFs are pretty solid.... yet It's amazing (although not surprising anymore) how little confidence airlines continue to have in our weakened market compared to similar cities. For example PIT-HOU had over 96% load factor... but will remain 1x weekly until Jan then dropped altogether. The 1x...
Jump to postI was on PIT-ATL last week on Tuesday and Friday and both flights were completely full. Both 321's. Yeah, wish it would've been the 757..been awhile since I've been on one of those birds.
Jump to postI live near AGC and nearly every morning I hear a turboprop take off from there around 12:30AM-1:00AM, usually I am too tired to check the flight tracking apps to see what it is.

Jump to postWednesday night AA696 MIA-BWI was diverted to PIT: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAL ... /KMIA/KBWI
Taill number N834NN . Dunno if anything was happening at BWI but maybe a maintenance issue on the plane? The same bird departed later for BWI at 12:23PM on Thursday.

Jump to postNice route and get. Will fly Sunday and Thursdays. Departs PIT at 12:40PM and then does the return trip from EYW and arrives in PIT after 6PM.
Jump to postVery rare AF1 visit to LBE on Thursday. I imagine he will use the 737 but 757 would be cool to see there. That's what I get for not verifying. When is the last time AF1 landed at LBE?

Jump to postVery rare AF1 visit to LBE on Thursday. I imagine he will use the 737 but 757 would be cool to see there.

Jump to postI very recently obtained some diagrams from 1970 that showed how PIT would look like by 2000. Very interesting how they envisioned the airport. I figured I'd share them now since there is absolutely nothing else good to talk about. Click on image to enlarge https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49762...
Jump to postDo those planes land as normal and park at a gate to let off the crew, etc and then are towed out to their resting spot on the runway or do the planes land and taxi directly to its resting spot?

Jump to postInteresting history, thanks. That $499 round trip in 1981 is about $1400 adjusted for inflation, so about the same as the fare today.
So now chance we’ll see a 747 back here?

Jump to postThe FlyLouie flight is interesting. The regular fare they quoted is about $400-$500 higher than taking a traditional flight from PIT. Would a ton less hassle flying out of AGC. Looks like HPN is about an hour drive to Manhattan. Many drive times from LGA and JFK to Manhattan are in the same boat. . ...
Jump to postHonestly, Pittsburgh's transit is one of the best out there for a city of our size. There are very few mid-tier US cities that can touch it, both in scale and in usage. We were one of the first cities in the world to pioneer busways – the East Busway specifically is a jewel that doesn't get enough ...

FRA, etc. Are they Western PA natives returning home from their trip or how many are residents of the CDG, KEF, FRA areas are visiting PIT or connecting to another flight?

I was at Racoon Creek State Park beach for the first time this past weekend and I came to realize it was a good spot for plane spotting! Good mix of departures and arrivals.
Jump to postSweet, will get to see a 787 four times a week. Great news overall.
Jump to postI'm curious where people traveling from PIT to Hawaii (HNL, OGG, etc) connect through? The two times I went to HNL I always connected through LAX , but that was when AA flew the route. I know if you search PIT-HNL, AA likes to route you through DFW or PHX.
Jump to postNK is suspending PIT-DFW in the Fall. Not sure yet if it’s going seasonal or the cut is permanent (although I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s completely gone).

Someone updated PIT's Wikipedia page to suggest United uses mainline equipment seasonally to EWR. Does anyone know more about this? Yeah I wonder why that is there since UA never uses mainline to EWR on a regular basis (I wish they did though). But I have noticed that there was a 739 operating a sc...
