A very modern airport.
… more pix on Google Maps: my blog on TPA in 2023, got 6 helpful votes.
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 it’s cell phone lot.
Wow – this is a whole new level of well designed public facility. As you going in, it’s to your right. It has a big parking lot, bathrooms, vending machines, dog bags, car charging stations, arrival info board…
THANK YOU Tampa.
My last time using JFK … urrrrrhhhh cars waiting to pick their loved ones up, were parked on the side of the roads into the airport, in the airport… 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.
The lounges are limited: by E68 is the Delta Sky Club, and American Airlines Admirals Club by F85. But the good news is, the famed Columbia (original one at Ybor City since 1905) has a branch here – no need to fly hungry: they open 4am till the last flight.
TPA 👍
All three major airlines have their terminals here:
- AA @ F, has its lounge (Lufthansa)
- Delta @ E, has its lounge
- UA @ A, has no lounge (JetBlue)
