    As a Tampa Bay native, I have watched Tampa International Airport grow from a modest hub to one of the nicest airports in the country. Getting into and out of the airport itself can be a little intimidating if you are new to the area, so follow all the signs very closely. If you miss your turn though, you can loop back around without getting back on Memorial Highway, so donโ€™t panic. Once youโ€™re there, the airport itself is very open-concept and either newly built or recently renovated. I have always enjoyed my experiences at TPA and highly recommend it!

    Iโ€™m a big fan of this airport. Yes, it is a little confusing knowing where to go to find a shuttle to your terminal, but after a few times coming through the airport, it is really laid out well, kept very clean, and has plenty of space so that it never feels crowded. There are plenty of really good dining options within the airport both inside the terminal as well as just outside the terminals. Inside the terminal, there are dozens of restaurants and shops to get snacks and food. Outside the terminal at the main hub, there are more restaurants and there is even a full PF Changs inside! To get to the rental car Center, it is a little bit complicated. You donโ€™t go downstairs to baggage claim. Rather, stay on the main level and continue all the way to the other end where are you take an escalator up to get to a train. That train will take you to both the economy parking lot as well as the rental car center. The rental car center is the best out of any of the airports Iโ€™ve rented a car at. Itโ€™s a massive building that has every car rental company you could think of. Giant signs for each company hang from the walls, and there is plenty of space to go get rental cars.

    Big airport but run smoothly. Nicely decorated and plenty of eateries to choose from. When we landed and made it to baggage claim our bags were coming out. So we didn't have to wait forever for our bags. We rented a car and had to take the shuttle seemed like a ways away but good signage which made navigation a breeze to get to where we needed to go.

    As someone who has traveled through Tampa International Airport for the first time, I have to say that I liked it a lot. During our most recent trip, which was a connecting flight on JetBlue, we were particularly impressed with the airport's convenient layout and modern amenities. One of the things that really stood out to me was how close my connecting gate was to my arrival gate. It was a huge relief not to have to rush through the airport to catch my next flight. Instead, I was able to simply walk over to the next gate, which made for a stress-free travel experience. The airport itself is also clean and well-maintained, with a modern design that feels welcoming and comfortable. There are plenty of seating areas throughout the airport, which is especially important during longer layovers. And the variety of food options is truly impressive - whether you're in the mood for a sit-down meal or a quick snack, there's something for everyone. All in all, I would highly recommend Tampa International Airport to anyone traveling through the area. From its convenient layout to its clean and modern facilities, it's clear that the airport has been designed with the traveler in mind.

    One of my favorite airports because it is so easy to navigate. Both arriving and departing. Big airport but does not seem big with trams. I enjoy the really high ceilings and size of terminals. Other airports seemed crapped. Bathrooms always seems clean.

    Never reviewed an airport and felt compelled to here. First time in Tampa airport. Flying through as got rerouted to Miami. Wow. This is what a modern airport in the US should look like. Just look at the pics. Super clean. Outlets everywhere. Seriously everywhere. Even at most seats at each restaurant. The hours of operations for some restaurants need to be updated though. They got tables for people who need to do some work. And for service dogs they have an area. This airport operations team has thought through and provided the details for travelers today.

    Attractive airport and laid out very efficiently. Easy in and out on my first visit to Tampa. I utilized the trains for both terminal and car rental facility connections; I never waited more than just a few minutes. Terminal C had great dining choices and excellent runway views to please this aviation geek.

    A very modern airport. My first impression a few years ago, was very pleased, and even a little surprised: functional, clean, pleasant. A few years later, I still think it is. Then yesterday on a pick up, I discovered itโ€™s cell phone lot. Wow - this is a whole new level of well designed public facility. As you going in, itโ€™s to your right. It has a big parking lot, bathrooms, vending machines, dog bags, car charging stations, arrival info boardโ€ฆ THANK YOU Tampa. My last time using JFK โ€ฆ urrrrrhhhh cars waiting to pick their loved ones up, were parked on the side of the roads into the airport, in the airportโ€ฆ it was just dangerous to all, and chaotic. For this particular pick up, with Southwest: it landed as the schedule: 5:31pm. The passenger is off the plane by 5:39 and we drive off the airport at 5:45. TPA ๐Ÿ‘

    By far the cleanest airport I've been to. They have a lot of stores to shop at before TSA. They have plenty of space at the gates all next to a charging port. Chairs are comfy. Easy to follow signs to where you need to go. Same with the outside. Very clean.

    Not overwhelming, clean, bright, pleasant, lively. Great signage for directions. Love the tram saves alot of walking (or running). Great food at Hard Rock Cafe. Roomy, cozy, excellent friendly service. Not like a normal airport restaurant, great respite with large open setting area. Recommend the nachos and Buffalo wings. Shops have plenty of pricy choices. Parking is short, our Escallade barely fit height wise. Order food from app as soon as you get there

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the cleanest and spacious terminals I have ever been in. The gate area waiting lounges are huge. You never have that crowded feeling you get in other airports. The shuttles to the gates are frequent and fast. TSA does a great professional job processing travelers. One of the most efficient areas is the passenger pickup areas and the cell phone lot. The traffic folks really keep the โ€œwaitersโ€ from hogging the pickup area. The cell phone lot is huge with large boards on arrivals. By comparison to Orlando several years ago where it was a nightmare in picking up baggage getting to the pickup area and seeing that area totally clogged with people that refuse to use the cell phone lot and just continue to circle around. Tampa is a dream come true. Keep up the good work Tampa!

    Tampa international Airport is the perfect prototype for transportation. From the time you enter the door and go to the ticket counter to get your bag tags to the time you step on the plane, you get the best of service. As a mobility challenged person it is not easy to go from city to city. Southwest airlines handicap assistance has been the best that I have encountered this summer at this location. I had no issues I was taken through TSA and to my gate with care. The attendant had conversation with me and even ask me did I need to visit the restroom before he took me to the gate. The TSA agents were very careful when handling me. They took it to consideration my needs and accommodated me as best as possible. This Airport has a simple layout and it is easy to get to the gates. It's just a pleasant experience all the way around.

    I visited several dozen airports across all states. Tampa International Airport is the most convenient modern airport. Everything is very convenient and you can get everywhere quickly. From parking to landing a maximum of 30 minutes. Any Jacob who reads what do you think?๐Ÿ˜…

    One of the most efficient, public friendly, and best airports in the nation. The facilities and common areas are very clean and secure. FYI - If you're going through the security general chek-in at American Airlines terminal, the very right line uses the newer CT scan, which means you don't have to take out your laptops or open bags or take off belts, makes it much faster. Ciao

    I had the privilege to travel to Tampa last week on an American Airline flight. I got impressed when arriving to the airport. I had visited Tampa so many times, but I used to drive 4 hrs from Miami. The airport location is great, easy to access using GPS, parking available, lots of reps to address any question you may have. I found it very easy even on first visit. Organized, clean, with train to move to terminals, fast access to check point with very professional staff, variety of restaurants, coffee shop, and stores to spend time while waiting to board your plane. I had a great experience on March 9th when arriving and 13th when leaving. Congratulations to all who made that great experience possible.

    An airport Iโ€™ve been flying in and out of since 1995. Theyโ€™ve improved it dramatically, with great art, better signage and lighting. Itโ€™s irritating to have to get on a shuttle, but itโ€™s super efficient.

    Very nice airport. Landed around 730 pm on a Friday. It was a breeze, easy to find your way to gates and be picked up. Flew back out on a Sunday morning at 6am and going thru baggage checkin was a breeze there wasnโ€™t a lot of long lines. Stopped at Starbucks and it all went very smooth . I was very impressed with the airport. It nice and clean. They have an aquarium which is really neat in the middle. Definitely one of the better not as hectic airports I have been in.

    Tampa Airport has grown considerably since my last visit 20 years ago. It's a Mid Size Airport, busy but not choked with the flow of people. Tampa does a great job. It's clean, efficient, friendly staff. Overall, it's a well designed, well organized airport . It makes things easy for people to get in and out of planes, get their baggage then get on home. Exactly the experience you hope to have at ALL Airports. Important Note: do NOT count on UBER Or LYFT to get you back to Tampa Airport. Have a backup plan.

    The Tampa Airport is easy to navigate with good signs for arriving passengers to get from the gate to the baggage claim area. The facilities are average, with a little bit of grunge. On the way from the gate I noticed several shopping areas and restaurants. Baggage seems to be slow getting from the plane.

    Little bit of a biased, opinion here. I'm Tampa born and raised, but even if I wasn't, I'd definitely leave this great review! Tampa international is one of my favorite airports that I've been to. First off, my favorite thing is the efficiency. The airport is designed and organized/ run pretty. Darn good. I feel very safe coming an hour early or even sometimes less knowing how quickly I typically get through TSA (I don't recommend coming with less than an hour. that's just my bad habit of running out of time). I also would like to remark on the cleanliness of the entire airport, Top notch! Going into food and dining, there are tons of amazing options. Before you get to your specific date the main gate area with the flamingo has lots of dining and shopping options. Next topic I would like to remark on would be the artwork. Lots of very cool art pieces throughout the airport, my favorite by far being the flamingo that was newly added a year or two ago I believe. There's lots more compliments than I could go on and on. But that's a good enough to get the point I believe. Overall, while I was here for a few hours, I couldn't really think of something to critique. Besides, maybe commenting on figuring out how to help your TSA employees smile a little bit more. I'm sure it's a very difficult and monotonous job. But they are also some of the employees that we see and watch the most.

  • 4/5 Kelly โ€œKellyโ€™s Critiqueโ€ G. 1 year ago on Google
    July 29, 2022- Cute airport with a couple of food and gift shop options. Bathroom was clean but handicap accessible bathroom had a broken lock on the door. There was a baby changing station located in the womenโ€™s bathroom. There are ATM machines. I flew through Frontier for the first time. Flight attendants had bad attitudes. Also, everything costs. Baggage carry on luggage was $89 at the gate. Drinks were $3.25. They had snacks available ranging from $4-$13 with a drink.

    I always love flying through Tampa Airport. Things always seem to run smoothly! It is easy to get to any gate quickly with the shuttle. Renting a car is easy to access with the train shuttle that takes you right there. This morning, as my red-eye flight landed, I was greeted with a wonderful sunrise. The uber pick up place is a bit hard to find, but asking around I was able to find it. Perhaps better signage could help.

    This was my first time at Tampa International. It is a huge airport. The only issue was that it was communicated we'll, especially for first time visitors, that you have to take a train/shuttle to baggage claim. Otherwise, it is a great airport to hang out in if you are early for your flight.

  • 5/5 Gallant I. 3 months ago on Google New
    Tampa International Airport is such a crisp and clean design! Very impressed with the cell phone lotโ€”it felt like the drive-in with the 2 big billboards (just could use better snacks than vending machines). It would be nice if there was a big airport map (you are here and arrival/departure info) on the outside wall beside the washrooms. By the way, the washrooms were super clean too! Toronto-Pearson should take note!

    Large and somewhat confusing if you are flying out of there for the first time. Very clean (including the restrooms), lots of shops and restaurants. Large covered parking area with people mover. Traffic in Tampa can cause delays. Fast security screening.

    Our son woke up before 7am and we wanted to take him somewhere to run off some energy. I remembered that my dad use to take me to the airport when I was a kid, I use to love riding the monorail but you have to have a ticket to do that now. A lady at the information center let me know that they do have a sky tram we could ride, it was great, he had a blast. We got some coffee from star bucks and he had a good hour and a half adventure around the airport.

    We had the pleasure of visiting Tampa International Airport with friends and family and had a pleasant experience. When we landed and got deboarded the planed we were greeted by airport employees who welcomed us to Tampa. We were given clear information on where to get our luggage from baggage claim. Getting from one terminal to the next utilizing the train was easy and convenient. When we left Tampa, the American Airlines ladies we encountered were very friendly and professional, and going through TSA was very efficient. We would not mi d flying into Tampa International Airport again. "Our Purpose Is Your Blessing"

    This is my home airport. I fly about 25-30x per year. I canโ€™t rant and rave about TPA enough. The service is spectacular. They are always updating restaurants, restrooms, parking areas, and everything else you can thing of. The amenities and all of the terminals are top notch. In the main area that connects the different terminals has quick services and sit down restaurants and shopping and relaxing areas. They also have outdoor sitting areas if you want fresh air.

    Once of the nicer airports Iโ€™ve been too, definitely had a face lift over the years. Great food selection, variety of shops and plenty of comfortable seating and charging stations. Clean restrooms and helpful staff. Flow of traffic was smooth and easy access to major highways leaving the airport.

    The best airport experience ever! I travelled by myself with two little kids, and everything went absolutely smoothly! And the security... TOTALLY AWESOME! Really, the best airport! And when you're there you have to visit their Chinese restaurant!

    Tampa international airport is a very nice and well-organized airport. Be sure to use the Tampa airport online app, it is easy to use and everything is outlined. The airport is divided by individual boarding areas called "Airside A", B, C, D... The terminals are bright and well-lit. Each one of the Airside terminals has a good selection of restaurants and amenities.

    3rd largest city in Florida ( the sunshine state). I was visiting Sarasota and I chose this airport due to the price. for Orlando, Sarasota, and Clearwater - Tampa is the best bet, I guess. They have a kiosk to guide you through the airport. Real-time updates can give you a clear picture of what is happening at the airport, allowing you to plan accordingly. shuttle trains are there to take you to 1) collect the baggage 2) rental car stations 3) Depending on your stay in Tampa, you can drive your vehicle to the airport and choose short-term or long-term parking and take a shuttle train to reach the main terminal. getting out of the airport or returning the rental car- itโ€™s easy. signs are there to guide you, so no worries. there are a couple of gas stations nearby the airport so you are covered. Security time- it was minimal when I checked in, 10 mins max but of course, we all know that varies depending on time. The restrooms are clean. Cafes- restaurants- stores - typical stuff - it's there.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Fantastic experience parking at Port Canaveral and canโ€™t recommend them enough!! My wallet fell from my pocket while in the shuttle. They found it, called me, and within 15 minutes the shuttle brought it back to me where I was dropped off. Life saver before a long cruise! Great service!
