    Ride the tram to your gate! Convenient on-site car rental

    Staff checking boarding passes before the trams are extremely rude and cause tons of confusion with carrying on bags. Let the airlines handle bags and stop intimidating their staff & customers.

    Carry on if you can. You'll spend more time waiting for bags than you will on your flight.

    Flight delayed? Before you go through security, catch some rays & hang out poolside at the Marriott attached to airport. Walk thru lobby, make a left at the bar, order drink, head outdoors to pool. Read more

    Suggest renting a car from one of the on-site companies especially if you're landing late.

    Allow yourself extra time to arrive at the gate due to the security checkpoints on either end of the light rail

    TPA is one of the cleanest airports in the country. However, food selection for layovers is lacking.

    Switching terminals to connect is a pain. Have to go through security again and there are wheelchairs and walkers galore.

    Look for the Healthy Snack kiosk at the gift shop. Nice touch by TPA giving us a small escape from the typical airport fare.

    Get here early. TSA does not care if you may miss a flight. Security is always a bitch. 6 plus cattle chutes today. 25 minute or more wait.

    They have body-scanners at security (even for domestic flights) AND THE SECURITY WILL NOT STAND FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

    The tsa people are incredibly insensitive. Hope you aren't traveling with a baby or they will make your life miserable.

    I don’t normally complain about prices, but since the renovations the prices on some items are extremely expensive. Bacon Egg biscuit is $9.49. What are you thinking?
