Pittsburgh, the birthplace of pop artist Andy Warhol is a vibrant city that offers a cheap urban escape to those looking for an authentic US holiday. With over 30 different museums to explore, including the Heinz History Center and Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and The Andy Warhol Museum – the largest museum dedicated to a single artist in North America, visitors will be spoiled for cultural choice. Pittsburgh is home to a variety of world-class restaurants and sports venues.
Sports fans can watch a Steelers match at the Acrisure Stadium, or a baseball match at PCP Park. Both offer spectacular views of the city’s skyline. Strip District is a great place to begin a culinary adventure. From Polish Pierogies and Italian Pepperoni Rolls to craft beverage options on every street, this district is bursting with delicious food. The city is particularly spectacular in the autumn when Pittsburgh’s tree-lined streets transform into a pretty palette of reds, oranges and yellows — an ideal setting for an exploration of the city’s 13-mile riverfront trail system on two wheels.
Jerad Bachar is the CEO of VisitPITTSBURGH. He said:
“We are thrilled that British Airways’ service continues to grow and aligns us to these iconic destinations. Our city has so much to offer; not only do we have exciting new developments and attractions on the horizon, but our existing ‘Only in Pittsburgh’ offerings, such as The Andy Warhol Museum, Wigle Whiskey and Primanti Sandwich, firmly cement the city as a must-visit destination for culture seekers, foodies, and sports enthusiasts. We look forward to welcoming a whole new generation of travellers who will discover what makes Pittsburgh unique.”
British Airways Chief Planning and Strategist Officer Neil Chernoff said:
“The US is a priority for us and we know that these network changes will both be welcomed by our business and leisure clients, providing more options to travel between the UK & USA than ever before.”
British Airways has announced it will operate an unprecedented number of flights in Summer 2025 from London to the US and Canada. During its peak week, British Airways will offer over 400 direct flights each week, including 26 US destinations.
