FYI: For those flying out of Pittsburgh... PLUS remember the airport is UNDER CONSTRUCTION too!

PLEASE READ‼️ 👀 For passengers with flights between 5 - 8 a.m., we advise arriving 2½ - 3 hours before your flight to accommodate longer ticketing and security lines. We're experiencing record-breaking crowds this summer, which means longer than usual TSA security lines. We're working with the TSA to streamline the security process as much as possible at PIT.

When our new terminal opens in 2025, we will offer ELEVEN TSA lanes, including a dedicated family lane! Read more about this record-breaking summer here: https://blueskypit.com/2024/06/airlines-to-break-records-at-pit-this-summer/

I am recently back from hosting my Panama Canal group cruise and it was WONDERFUL! I always enjoy hosting groups and cruising with old friends and meeting new friends. We have many that travel on my groups so much that it is like old friends traveling together each time! It is so fun to see people you know onboard, sharing tours and meals! If you haven't cruised on one of my hosted group trips, I think you would REALLY love it. This cruise we had an ugly holiday t-shirt/sweater contest and holiday ornament exchange and a ship wide scavenger hunt as well as an in party scavenger hunt and trivia game where folks won gift cards and scratch off lottery tickets. It was a really fun time! Melissa brought down the house with her winning holiday shirt and Twila made sure to make it tough on her with her second place shirt entry! Jen's shirt, a personal favorite, paid tribute to me, Chad, Babu and Tunde... she won honorable mention for sure! Here are some of my personal photos from the trip! Thanks to all those on my Panama Canal Group Cruise... you made this a trip of a lifetime!!!! HUGS, RENEE
