The Allegheny County Airport Authority on Wednesday issued a travel advisory for Pittsburgh International Airport because of increased traffic during the upcoming summer travel season.

The authority is reminding travelers to arrive at Pittsburgh International at least 90 minutes to two hours before their flight’s scheduled departure time.

Travelers also are urged to print boarding passes from home or use the boarding- pass kiosks inside the airport if they are not checking luggage.

Passengers also are asked to remember the 3-1-1 rule to expedite the screening process. No more than 3 ounces of liquid or gel in a container, all containers must be packed in a clear 1-quart, zip-top bag and only one bag per passenger.
