    It's only $200 to drive there and back on the PA Turnpike. No that does not include gas.
    $200 in toll roads???
    Pittsburgh to Philly is the USA's most expensive stretch of toll road. 
    I used Amtrak for the most recent Philly shows coming from Pitt. I won’t make that drive again. Amtrak all the way..

    I've also seen that there are some cheap flights between the two cities. I know that PIT being so far from the city really cuts into those costs savings though.

    Appreciate this info.  Hadn't realized how far away the airport is until I checked and this looks to be a good option to get downtown.

    I may have an extra DoubleTree booking.  Not sure if you can transfer a booking to someone else.  I think I'm going to stay at the Marriott City Center instead.
