It has airplanes. You land there. You wait. Then you get on your next flight.

Think I summed it up pretty well for ya.

Used to have mono rails between concourses...was pretty cool when I was a kid. Haven't flown in and out of Tampa in a long time. I would suspect if your connection or flight is leaving in the evening between Feburary and November delays are common....

It’s fine. Kind of an odd layout, similar to Orlando, so if your connection is with a different airline than the one you landed on it can be a hassle.

You’ll have average food options. All of the concourses have typical airport fast food, plus some specialty restaurants. The bulk of them are in the following locations:

Airside A - A12
Airside C - C34-39 (Cigar City Brewing is next to C43)
Airside E - E64-70
Airside F - F83-85

Airside F has the best options, IMO. Illy Cafe, Gasparilla, Bella’s, Buddy Brew, Liquid Provisions, Square 1, and some others.

It has nice amenities but the tram between terminals is a bitch. If you have connecting flights at different terminals, you need some time.

Car Rental facility is awesome, but you won’t be using that.

I met Vanilla Ice there one time. Actually was a great guy. Seemed very humble and relatable.

It serves 93 non-stop destinations. It opened in 1971.

There’s a gloryhole in the last men’s room of concourse A. Nice atmosphere as GH’s go.

One of my favs to fly in and out of. As said, give yourself a little time for the trams if you need to get from terminal to terminal but it’s been routinely voted as one of the better airports in the US.

If you have some time to roam around, they typically have several art installations installed around the airport that are pretty cool. Has some nice amenities as well.

A lot of fine talent walking through that airport. Sit at a bar with a good view of the scenery.
