Flying
For those planning to fly to Pittsburgh, you will want to make sure that your destination is the Pittsburgh International Airport (Airport Code: PIT).
A tip on booking airline travel: first decide when you need to be at your destination and when you need to get back. The go to one of the online airfare sites (expedia.com, travelocity.com, etc.) and search for flights that fit your needs and are reasonable in price. Then go to that airline's website and search for their rate for the same flight. Be selective when looking for the best airfare and you can end up with a great deal.
To keep costs down as much as possible, you are encouraged to research fares as much as possible. Many airlines such as Southwest offer group discounts on fares when 10 or more people are all on the same flight. Don't be afraid to call airlines and ask them what sort of discounts you might be able to arrange.
