One of the best airports to travel through, hands down. Tampa International Airport is incredibly…read moreeasy to navigate, with a layout that actually makes sense. No endless walking or confusion. Security is usually efficient, and the entire airport feels clean, modern, and well-maintained. The tram system between terminals is quick and smooth, which makes getting to your gate stress-free. There are plenty of solid food and drink options, and the overall atmosphere feels calm compared to most busy airports. If you're flying in or out of Florida, this is easily one of the most convenient and enjoyable airport experiences you can have.

Average airport. We…read morearrived and departed from this airport. Upon arrival it was very confusing to find the uber pickup. Followed the signs and got lost. Had to ask an attendant for help. The shuttle was easy to get to. The other issue was the wasn't much places to sit in the airport, lots of empty spaces with nothing in it. Please put more seating in those areas. Departure was easier the car return area was directly connected to the shuttle to get to the main entrance of the airport. TSA was a little busy but wasn't too bad. Staff was pretty good.

It looks like the rating for Airside A at TPA is being brought down by misplaced reviews of TSA at…read moreCheckpoint A. It's true that it's one of the oldest airsides at this airport. However, I didn't see any problems with the facilities or restaurants there. It's the main terminal for United Airlines as well as JetBlue (and others). We recently flew out of here on our way to their hub in Houston (IAH). The last time was when we flew to Puerto Rico to visit family members prior to 2018. I don't remember seeing the "Copper Birds" there at that time. I've always wondered where they went. I'm glad they found a good place to display them. The view of the runway at Airside A (as well as F) is very nice. The boarding for United was very organized. I think the only negative is that only one of the SkyConnect trams was operational. It's a minor inconvenience. The wait time wasn't too long for the other one to return. The people mover trams will all eventually be replaced anyway, so expect more wait times at all the airsides. It will be a nice upgrade to TPA once that project is completed. As always, it was a smooth trip back to Tampa.

TPA is now directing all ride share (Uber & Lyft, etc.) pickups to the Blue Express Terminal

There are places to fill your water bottles once you are through TSA, which is quick and efficient. The seats have AC plugs for charging, but at times there is no place to sit. The bathrooms are clean. The art is nice. There is a very busy gate area.

It may be because the terminal is so small there aren't many people coming to board flights at the same time, but it is super quick to get through. My most recent visit, I was through in five minutes and that was with one line open. The TSA agents have always been friendly and efficient. This might be one of the shortest reviews I've ever written, but there really isn't much more to say. Know that if you are flying out of Terminal A, you could probably get to the airport fifteen minutes before your boarding time and make it to your gate with time to spare.

There are not very many options in terms of food. Bar food restaurants and other restaurants like U le le, depending on the terminal. The blue terminal has a delta lounge. I don't believe there are other lounges at this airport. Overall I prioritize ease and this airport is very very easy. They do offer TSA Precheck, but they don't offer clear.
