Airlines to Add, Resume Routes from PIT This Spring

Recent cold temperatures and snow likely have Pittsburghers thinking of warm weather escapes.

In anticipation of rising demand spurred by spring break travel, and continuing into the early summer months, airlines are planning to ramp up flight schedules by adding additional flights, resuming seasonal destinations and launching new routes.

Here are some new routes and returning service starting soon at Pittsburgh International Airport:

Miami

On Sunday, Southwest Airlines resumed nonstop service between Pittsburgh and Miami for the first time since 2022. Southwest is scheduled to operate the route on select days of the week through May 31.

This gives travelers another nonstop to South Florida from PIT, which also includes American Airlines to Miami; Southwest and Spirit Airlines to Fort Lauderdale (FLL); and Allegiant Air to West Palm Beach (PBI).

Miami has been a hot destination for Pittsburghers lately, with fans traveling to the Orange Bowl, which saw Penn State face Notre Dame for the College Football Playoff Semifinal on Jan. 9. American operated additional flights on its Pittsburgh-Miami service for fans to attend the game at Hard Rock Stadium.
