    I've been to 23 countries and all over the US and Tampa Int'l has consistently been the best airport I've ever encountered. It is always a step ahead of the others in technology and customer service.

    Very relaxed airport. Enough space to sit in comfortable chair if you have to wait for your flight. Also free wifi and lot's of restaurants and shops.

    Amazing. My favorite airport in Florida. Great staff all throughout the airport, fast TSA lines, and just what an airport should be like.

    Possibly one of the best airports in the country. Just know that the air sides are not connected

    TPA is very tech-friendly. Workstations for charging & laptop use are plentiful. They offer free wireless access for all customers. Their wireless portal is mobile-ready & has helpful flight info.

    Big construction going on at the moment and it looks like it's going to be really nice inside. It was already a great airport but now it'll be even better. Looking forward to a new TPA!

    Love this airport. Clean and tidy and small enough to get in and out of quickly. It's also right in the city which most major airports are about 30 mins out of the city.

    The airport is well organized. I love that you can have your meal as you wait for flights. A good selection to choose from.

    Spacious airport, efficient lines and great restaurants. I've only been on the United side and it's all new from the last time I was here. Just wish there were more flights from Chicago to here.

    One of my favorite airports. Having a wife who smokes, each airside terminal has a smoking area. It's outside but being in FL you will not freeze.

    Best choice for local food: The Columbia Café (Airside E), Green Iguana (Airside A), Shula's & Cigar City Brewing (Airside C) and First Flight, a wine bar by Mise en Place in the Main Terminal.

    Cell phone waiting lot is great. It has restrooms and drinks. Also the lot has a flight board that tells you when flights land or if they are delayed. Great place to wait and turn off your engine!

    TIA just celebrated 50 years & hasn’t stopped improving since. Plenty of quick or sit-down eateries to choose from prior to boarding (for those tearful farewells). Clean, efficient & has local eats!

    TPA has a fabulous shopping area in the main terminal for gorgeous beach cover ups, sun dresses, jewelry and non-cheesy gifts your friends and family will actually appreciate! Save room in your bag!

    The information person at the main terminal is so nice. He is proactively calling out to people to ask if they need help. He can spot the lost souls.

    No need to look for Wi-Fi here since it's free throughout the airport. Skip the souvenir shops and head to the International Shopping Plaza for your last-minute gifts (only 10 min from the airport).

    I recommend the Tarmac, it's wonderful! It's great for landing AND taking off! You can also sit and wait for hours on end on the tarmac if you like (or even if you don't like!)

    Beautiful airport, easy in and out. Free wifi and plenty of shopping and food/drink past security. No 'charger chairs', but they have plenty of workstations you can set up at and charge up.

    Very nice airport to get in and out of. Just remember you need to take the tram to get into the gate area. The TSA lines were fast and terminal nice and clean.

    There is Delta sky priority security line as well as TSA pre check . Look for the Starbucks inside E as well as the Columbia Restaurant, The 1905 salad is just as good as the location in Ybor City!

    Easy to find, easy to rent a car, easy to get your ticket, easy to get to your gate, easy to get some snacks, easy to find a bathroom and lots of smiley faces. And EZ to find Starbucks.

    Visit the top floor of TPA parking garage. Morning/evening are the best due to the rising/setting sun. Free access to the garage for first hour. Stunning views of the bay, Tampa, and runways!

    Here's a tip. Park in long term parking on the second floor and you can walk right into the boarding terminal. Saves a bunch of time if you have your boarding pass already in hand.

    Awesome airport and wonderful ops/support staff bathrooms are always clean as the rest of the terminals. You take this for granted until you've been to "remote" international airports.
