Flavio AguilarDecember 12, 2014This is my First time at this airport and I must say is really awesome .. may be the best Airport in USA
Jeff GuiangOctober 22, 2023TSA is amazing. You go through TSA at the gate so there are fewer people in line. This TSA process should be used in all airports.
Peter JiranFebruary 22, 2015One of the cleanest, friendliest, most efficient airports and yet they're still upgrading to stay ahead of traveler demands!
One of the best airports, very organized and lanes move quickly. Very clean and spacious.
Haas CollinsFebruary 13, 2015It's clean with Free WiFi and great places to eat or shop. Definitely a great airport.
Clean airport that gets the job done. Relatively easy to navigate
As always one of the best airports! Clean, easy to navigate through and not too busy.
Nice, easy to navigate and well-organized airport. Excellent way to welcome folks to FL.
Awesome airport and wonderful ops/support staff bathrooms are always clean as the rest of the terminals. You take this for granted until you've been to "remote" international airports.
Jordan GrosecloseNovember 12, 2014Tampa is an efficient, easy airport. I recommend Hertz for your rental, not just because they are the best, but it's definitely the easiest for getting out of the airport fast.- Dipesh PatelSeptember 25, 2014Free wifi and really easy to get around. Always better to hang out in the center and enjoy the empty couch seats before getting on the tram to the terminal.
Jen Ritchie MolnarJuly 2, 2015Come early and there's no wait. Signs coming in are clear. Screening was easy with friendly TSA agents!
Didi McElroyJune 14, 2013HMS runs a Multi vendor concession that has healthy options such as hummus and carrots. Right next to Nathan's Di don't shy away from hunting down dinner there!
One of the best airport in US. Easy to check in and out.

Timothy MöhleApril 19, 2015Nicer shopping and dining in the central hub. Once at the various terminals you're stuck with what they got.
Great wifi that actually works well! It's almost never busy here which means very few lines everywhere you go within the airport. Pretty good options for food.
Christina CarberryMarch 18, 2013If you have a delay or a long layover, head to the adjacent Marriott and relax in the pool courtyard. They have bartenders serving the area and it was almost empty on a cloudy day!
Clean, relaxed, free wifi and good food/drink venders for an airport.
The Airport look great after the renovation, the big screen comp is very helpful , to find a place to change currency was a hassle , need employees to help people
Chris BroachMay 28, 2012Chilis Togo has beer and clowns. The guards here are much more aggressive an efficient than Chicago-ORD. Which makes no sense. Efficiency. Take note Chicago. Take note Rahm Emanuel.
If you come to check your bags and find that the lines are long, go to curbside. Usually not busy and quicker. Be sure to tip a couple of bucks for each bag. Worth it not to wait in line.
Short term parking is first hour free and the bars and restaurants are on the public side of security. So go inside to see ye party off, or pick them up.
Free Wifi everywhere, very organized and easy to get to the gates, plenty of options to dine. Best airport in the US!
If renting car- arrive 90 at least 90 mins prior to departure and you can check your bag in the rental facility building
Check out the elephants on display by the shops before you get to the trams. They are awesome unique works of art.
Todd KunaMarch 14, 2020Easy to navigate airport with a short train between terminals. Dylan’s Candy Bar, Chick-fil-a and Ducky’s while you wait
CaitlinSeptember 23, 2013I have done a lot of flying across the country and this is the best airport I've been to! Quick security lines, friendly staff, free wifi
one of the few airports that has smoking inside of security!
TSA are bag nazis here! To enter the line, you can only have two bags.... So if you want to get and early start on pulling out all the things that go thru security separately - forget it!
MasterPj BeauchampJune 28, 2015One of the best airports. Getting around is easy. The shuttle gives a warm welcome to FL...
CA DAugust 14, 2014The elderly gentleman at TSA pre-check obviously needs a vacation! I can without the mean attitude... I'm just walking through a scanner for heaven sake!
Love Bagel & Bakery by Gate E 62. Try the Jalapeño cheese bagel with cream cheese!
Honza ZhejbalApril 14, 2020Always fly to Tampa, if going to Florida. Rental cars is in close terminal, easy to get to highway to South.
In town for the RNC? Swing by the Mindworks store for patriotic hats and souvenir plush. Pick up patriotic tie dye tees at Ron Jon. And don't forget your flag from The Florida Shop as well!- The new Mise en Place Wine Bar (First Flight) just opened in middle of main terminal and it looks very nice! I'm impressed! Check it out.
If you are traveling around Christmas time or Spring Break, make sure you arrive at least 2 hours early to give you time to get through security, otherwise you will probably miss your flight.
Best laid-out major airport in the US. Short walks to gates. Rental car facility on site. Nice shopping & food choices outside and inside secure area.
If you are flying from Continental/United, jetBlue, or airtran... be sure to stop by Jose Cuervo Tequileria and enjoy some hot, delicious Mexican cuisine and some cold, sweet margaritas! :)
John 忠威 suɐɥ Dyke🐑August 31, 2014Great airport. Well layed out with good selection of cafes and shops for pre/post flight.
