@AdventuresAhead So glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback. We appreciate it. 🫶🏼 If you’re around for a few days, we have some other videos of local things to do in the Tampa Bay Area. Have a great time. 🤗🤗
😂😂 Ramp it up! In all seriousness, thank you for being part of the great service TPA provides! We are thru there all the time and I can imagine working at an airport has its moments.
My favorite airport! But…….. the train to rental cars & economy parking is like a roller coaster ride - up and down, whipping those turns & curves. Suggestion: have wheelchairs at train drop off from rental cars at 5:00 am. The longest walk from the tram to go the gate trams is difficult for handicapped with a cane.
Thank you for watching and really appreciate the feedback! So glad it was helpful. Have a great time at the beach. It’s hot and humid, stay hydrated! 🤗
We fly into TPA quite a bit, great work guys. Very informative and it hits everything you need to know. A side note, I seldom leave TPA without a stop at The PGA Tour Shop, they always have some great deals on apparel. I’m not a golfer, can’t comment on Golf specific stuff.
this far walk bags pickup to car rental counter. is long walk from car rental drop to southwest airlines counter. i never been tampa. i hear was less busy than orlando international airport.
@richardsantiago429 Tampa is very easy and MUCH easier than Orlando. Orlando is not a customer friendly airport or layout. The bags drop at the rental car center is only if you’re checking in. The bag check to pick up bags and rental car center are in different areas, but it’s a quick tram ride over! Easy breezy! 🤗
Never been here. I’m returning a budget car from a different location. It says follow rental car signs. Once I get there do I park my rental anywhere or is there a section for buget to drop off? Also what is the Bag drop? Is that for checkin luggage only?
@melmel4943 Yes, follow the rental car signs and you’ll see signs for returns. Follow the signs for your rental car company and what level it is on. They will have people there directing you where to drop off. And the bag drop, yes that is for checking in bags they check in luggage only. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏼
I will arrive at tampa airport on Monday. I paid in advance for an airport taxi to drive us to Clearwater. Where do i go to for this? Is it near the rental cars??
@crystalward3935 Taxi service is provided by Yellow Cab is available curbside just outside the Baggage Claim Level at the Ground Transportation Areas, Red 1 and Blue 2. So once you get your checked bags, head out to the ground transportation area and you’ll see Taxis and Super Shuttles. Hope this helps!
I have instructions that reads, "Tampa International Airport, 3rd floor - departures level between airside E and airside F trams." Is this fairly easy to navigate? This is for the Global Entry Interview, however, I didn't see offices per se. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
@BDTube2006 Yes! On the 3rd floor where you would take a tram to get to your departure gate, the letters E and F are huge orange letters. The ones you see in our videos. You will see a sign that says Global Entry. Very easy you shouldn’t have a problem!
I travelled to Tampa before. You mentioned the "baggage drop" which is very useful but at the time it was only some of the airlines which offered this. Do you know if this has been updated to include all airlines for bag drop at the car rental.
What’s the best way to find/get a luggage cart to the economy parking garage? Can I use the car rental place JUST to drop off my check in bags if I didn’t rent with them?
I can say yes you can use that back check in regardless if you rent or not. The economy parking guests also end up here and since you have to take a tram to the main terminal they offer it to anyone who wants to use it. For luggage carts I am not 100% myself, but found the following from the TPA website - “Self-service luggage carts by Bagport America are available in the Short Term Parking Garage by the Armstrong and Sikorsky Elevators on Levels 4, 6, and 7, and in the Main Terminal. Rental fees are $5 with a 25-cent return refund. Rental machines accept cash and credit card.” I don’t understand the fee piece…that’s all they say about those tho.
@@canwedigit Great thanks for the info. Probably makes more sense to drag our luggage’s and car seats to the rental car place instead of searching for the bag carts. It’s just back on the tram and 1 exit down?
@Stryk3rr911 Yes, you just hop off the tram at the stop after the economy garage, drop off your stuff at the bag drop and then hop back on the tram to go to the main terminal but bag free! 🤗 You’re welcome!

Well done guys. Heading to Indian Shores and this was a huge help.

Thank you for your feedback! Really appreciate it. I’m gonna have to pay closer attention to that store next time we’re there. So later this week. 😂😂
We are arriving Saturday morning. Due in 8:30ish I believe. Can’t wait to have my toes in the sand.
The best feeling!!!!
My two favorite things about airports are the signs and trains 😂
The important things, ya know!? 😂
I would 've like to see where to get an Uber/Lyft.
@jilldenise1233 If you go to the timestamp 24:55 in the video they’ll be information for Uber/Lyft pick up. Hope this helps. Safe travels.😁

Hey! Right now it’s Delta, Southwest, United, Spirit, and Jet Blue, which are all the majors ones the go out of Tampa most often. Hope that helps!
Are elevators available if someone is unable to use the escalators?
Yes! They have huge elevators at every level!
@@canwedigit thank you! I have a kiddo who is easily scared by escalators. I don’t want to hold everyone else up.
