6. They moved their hub out of Pittsburgh long ago

Yes our airport was much busier when it was first built - or should I say "rebuilt" - in 1990. We even had British Airways for awhile, and US Air called Pittsburgh its home ... until they moved out.

Many people living in western Pennsylvania have found that it's no more expensive or time-consuming to drive than to fly to most places on the East Coast. If you're going west, like past Chicago or Saint Louis, flying is better and probably cheaper. Last time I flew anywhere was to Las Vegas, probably 6 or 7 years ago.

I take frequent trips to New York to visit my son and DIL, and I've found Amtrak to be the best mode of transportation.
