    If flying out of the American Airlines terminal, arrive early because as soon as you take train shuttle to concourse the security line can be an hour long or so looks at first from main hall deceiving

    Free and fast wireless internet and plenty of well-placed power outlets throughout the departure hall. It's a great place to stay productive.

    Nice airport. The hub design is nice and makes security faster.

    From 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.

    Free wifi, clean bathrooms, decent radio station, friendly staff, and a workstation row with plenty of chargers in the American gates.

    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.

    I have always loved parking in the main garage, then taking the elevator UP into the main terminal.

    Here'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.

    Cell phone parking lot is a great free place to wait for somebody in car. Also, short term parking is free up to an hour

    Beautiful new SWA terminal. Enough eating options but none that fit my taste. I like healthier eating.

    If you've rented a car from one of the in-terminal companies and need to fill gas before returning the car, set your GPS for a nearby gas station instead of the airport. There're no stations enroute.

    Security was a breeze. However, navigating from one airside to the other was a bit of an experience.

    If 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.

    Make sure you arrive at least 120 minutes before departure as TSA-screening is often very congested and slow at all times!

    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.

    Airport setup is a little weird. Don't buy coffee or water til you get ALL THE WAY past security, which is after the shuttle.
