Pittsburgh International Airport's Global Entry Enrollment Center serves travelers from across Western Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh, Cranberry Township, and the surrounding Allegheny County suburbs. The airport opened a brand-new Landside Terminal in November 2025, its first entirely new terminal building since 1992, and the enrollment center moved along with it: it's now on the Arrivals level of the new terminal, past Cafe Conmigo, toward the back near the international arrivals exit. If you've been to PIT before the move, don't assume the old ticketing-level location is still current, check the airport's location on Google Maps and follow the on-site TSA Pre✓/Global Entry signage once you're inside.

With a brand-new terminal layout and a growing list of applicants, interview slots at PIT can book out for weeks. Instead of checking the Trusted Traveler Programs site every day, savvy travelers set up Snapslot to get a text the instant a cancellation opens up, so they can lock in a slot without the daily manual check.
Knowing the Global Entry Application Process
- Submit Your Application: Create a Trusted Traveler Programs account and submit the Global Entry application with the fee.
- Await Conditional Approval: CBP reviews your background before you're cleared to schedule an interview.
- Schedule Your Interview: Slots at PIT fill quickly. If nothing is open, Snapslot can alert you the moment someone else's cancellation frees one up.
- Attend Your Interview: A CBP officer reviews your documents and travel history in person at the new terminal.
- Await Final Approval: Most applicants hear back shortly after the interview.
Preparing for your interview
Bring a valid passport, a second form of government-issued ID, your green card if applicable, and your conditional approval letter. Be ready to speak to every country you've visited in the last five years, since the interview is largely a check that your in-person answers match what's already in your file. Dress professionally, as you would for any appointment with a federal officer.
Getting to your appointment
Parking at Pittsburgh International Airport
Short-term parking directly at the terminal is the most convenient option for an interview appointment, since you won't need to catch a shuttle. Follow the overhead signage for TSA Pre✓/Global Entry once you're inside the new Landside Terminal; it leads directly to the Department of Homeland Security office on the Arrivals level.
Taking Public Transit to Pittsburgh International Airport
Pittsburgh Regional Transit's 28X Airport Flyer bus connects PIT to Downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland, making it a workable option if you're coming from the city center without a car. From farther-out suburbs like Cranberry Township or Wexford, though, rideshare tends to be more reliable than working out a bus connection, especially for a single timed appointment.
No available appointments?
If you're arriving on an international flight into PIT, check whether Enrollment on Arrival applies to your itinerary; it lets conditionally approved applicants complete their interview during their arrival. Otherwise, check the Trusted Traveler Programs site directly, or let Snapslot watch for you.
Don't refresh the appointment site by hand: Snapslot sends a text the moment a Pittsburgh International Airport slot opens up.
