- 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.
Nice, easy to navigate and well-organized airport. Excellent way to welcome folks to FL.
One of the best airports, very organized and lanes move quickly. Very clean and spacious.
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!
Great airport, they have the TSA thing down pat. Lines move!
If renting car- arrive 90 at least 90 mins prior to departure and you can check your bag in the rental facility building
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.

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
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.
Cellphone waiting lot is awesome! They have food trucks, free wi-fi, restrooms, and a huge board to show you all the details of the flights. Best of all, it's free to use!
Timothy MöhleApril 19, 2015Nicer shopping and dining in the central hub. Once at the various terminals you're stuck with what they got.
Check out the elephants on display by the shops before you get to the trams. They are awesome unique works of art.
NathanAugust 13, 2016Sit at Florida's oldest, original restaurant, now enveloped by an airport and think how colonialism would have been different had it been done with airplanes instead of ships.
One of the best airport in US. Easy to check in and out.
Clean, relaxed, free wifi and good food/drink venders for an airport.
Jen Ritchie MolnarJuly 2, 2015Come early and there's no wait. Signs coming in are clear. Screening was easy with friendly TSA agents!
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
Ozzie OsbandOctober 21, 2018I have always loved parking in the main garage, then taking the elevator UP into the main terminal.
Cindy RobbinsJanuary 16, 2015The chillis express veggie wrap was satisfying (slim pickings for veg in term c -Starbucks just had meat breakfast sandwiches, annoying!)
Nice airport. The hub design is nice and makes security faster.
Vanessa PerezJanuary 26, 2014Free wifi, clean bathrooms, decent radio station, friendly staff, and a workstation row with plenty of chargers in the American gates.
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
Monique TercDecember 9, 2013Awesome inside playground by terminal a for the kiddies. Makes waiting around so much easier for families traveling with young ones.
Free Wifi everywhere, very organized and easy to get to the gates, plenty of options to dine. Best airport in the US!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Danny McManusAugust 29, 2013I travel ALOT. . . TSA employees here are the most polite and friendly of any airport I've been to. If course is 7am, so that might change.
Use the cell phone lot for picking up someone.. big sign with arrivals, bathrooms, concession, free wifi. The only thing that would be better is if they had a view of the runway..
Pretty easy to get around. Good Irish bar near Delta gates. Rental car area is a bit of a haul, so leave time.
Beautiful new SWA terminal. Enough eating options but none that fit my taste. I like healthier eating.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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
It has improved a lot within the past year. It compares to some of the big city 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.
As always one of the best airports! Clean, easy to navigate through and not too busy.
If u have time to kill before a flight, head over to the Marriott bar and pool. There are couches and big nice chairs to relax in and watch some tv
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.
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
