Tips for 1 hr Connections
Domestic-to-domestic connections are simple since all gates sit in one airside terminal reachable by the internal people mover.
If arriving internationally, budget extra time for Federal Inspection and re-screening back through security before your next flight.
The people mover ride between the Landside and Airside terminals takes just a few minutes but always factor in walking time to reach the people mover platform.
PIT is not a major connecting hub, so flight frequencies to some destinations are limited, meaning a missed connection could mean a longer wait for rebooking.
Concourse signage is clear, and moving walkways help speed up longer walks within the Airside Terminal.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are located in the single Airside Terminal, reached from the Landside Terminal (ticketing, check-in, baggage claim) via an underground automated people mover that runs every couple of minutes. Once inside the Airside Terminal, Concourses A through D fan out from a central hub and are walkable in a few minutes without further security. International arrivals clear Federal Inspection in the Landside Terminal and must re-enter through security screening if connecting onward.
