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! :)
Nice airport. The hub design is nice and makes security faster.
John 忠威 suɐɥ Dyke🐑August 31, 2014Great airport. Well layed out with good selection of cafes and shops for pre/post flight.
Papi SorrelisDecember 11, 2012If you land in A, you must take a shuttle by security to cross airport. REDO a painful security process & then be left w/ way less options than the F side. If you can hang out in F before you go to A.
Rex HammockDecember 11, 2011From horizontal transport strategies to free wifi to security check-ins in wide open spaces, Tampa has one of the most passenger friendly airports Ive traveled through.
Matthew MJanuary 20, 2013Free and fast wireless internet and plenty of well-placed power outlets throughout the departure hall. It's a great place to stay productive.
Rhett EphgraveOctober 22, 2010Here's what to do: get up at 4:45 a.m. to do a product expo at work. Don't eat anything all day. Go straight to the Bacardi bar in Concourse E and start drinking. Sleep like a baby all the way to ATL.
Ozzie OsbandOctober 21, 2018I have always loved parking in the main garage, then taking the elevator UP into the main terminal.
Felix GrushevskySeptember 1, 2014Cell phone parking lot is a great free place to wait for somebody in car. Also, short term parking is free up to an hour
Nicholas StoneMarch 27, 2015Waiting for someone to arrive? Check out the plentiful shops & food in the main terminal!
One of the best airports nationwide. Hands down. If you’re in Terminal C, stop by Goody Goody!
Megan BrownJanuary 6, 2023Fairly easy airport. Train from rental car so quick to drop off. If 90 min bf flight can check baggage at rental car return!!
Aran RodríguezNovember 29, 2018Security was a breeze. However, navigating from one airside to the other was a bit of an experience.
I you're parking in Long Term Parking, try to park on the northernmost end of the 2nd level. It will put you right at the walkway to the terminal. Avoid the creepy shuttle on the 5th level.
One of the easiest airports to get in & out off! 👍😎
Beautiful new SWA terminal. Enough eating options but none that fit my taste. I like healthier eating.
Incredible, new airport. Wonderful facilities and very spacious ❤️- Carla KrebsMarch 21, 2018Will be glad when they finish remodeling, makes getting around a little difficult.
J BJanuary 28, 2018Make sure you arrive at least 120 minutes before departure as TSA-screening is often very congested and slow at all times!
It has improved a lot within the past year. It compares to some of the big city airports!
Park on level 4 in section 7 for a nice pic of the America flag! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gary RoofJune 15, 2019Easy car rental return and drop off and very easy to get to and from the airport
One of the easiest international airports to travel through. Hit the Cigar City Pub at Gate C!
James WoodMay 11, 2012At the new Green Iguana in airside A; ask for Sharon...sit on the right side of the bar and she will plug in your phone charger..lifesaver!
Favorite airport. Small, super fast and now has duckys in addition to green iguana.
I highly recommend you try the airplanes! They are a must have and I get one EVERY time I come here!
Cindy RobbinsJanuary 16, 2015The chillis express veggie wrap was satisfying (slim pickings for veg in term c -Starbucks just had meat breakfast sandwiches, annoying!)
Great airport. Easy to find your way around. Good selection of shops and restaurants.
Amber ReichartJuly 29, 2013Southwest Airlines have been the best type of transportation for my 11 year old cousin and I. My pilot was especially charming, he sang to us!
Best airport hands down. So easy to navigate and so efficient!
Marcia MarangonAugust 21, 2013That's my kind of airport! Super clean, signs showing where to go from the door to the gate and nice people to deal with.
Active Duty military get free baggage and can use the first class check in line when flying United. Also use the TSA pre line with your AD CAC card.
Omar WilliamsJanuary 19, 2023Short but truly fulfilling visit with Princess Leilani! I'll love & miss y'all until I return! Love Pop Pop #FamilyFirst #Grandkids
Anthony HSeptember 5, 2012Initially I wasn't thrilled about flying into Tampa, but needless to say every comment is accurate and on point. Overall amazing airport!!! Why can't every airport be like this.
Free WiFi. .. love the black leather chairs. Nice way to relax before going thru security to your gate.
Karin GattringerDecember 28, 2022Remote checkin of bags available (+90 min before departure) at the rental car center.
Edward EspositoApril 13, 2013Don't panic, Starbucks in main and outlying terminals. You'll need ticket & ID to board trams to gates then again to get to the gates coming off tram. Moves quickly, TSA pros.
Free wifi, large seating areas and easy to get through. One of the best airports I've been to.
The greatest airport in USA. Bring your computer or NYTimes, find a comfy chair, computer terminal and enjoy.
