Navigating airports can be hard – we’re here to help! The Tampa Airport has information kiosks near the escalators on the north and south ends of Level 3 of the Main Terminal. You can find information boards with info on airport paging, directions, flight status, and more on Levels 2 and 3 of the Main Terminal.  You can find interactive maps and more information by visiting the Tampa Airport website.

Each Terminal at the Tampa Airport is designed to cater to specific airlines and destinations, making it easier for passengers to navigate. The SkyConnect train system runs 24/7 and allows passengers to easily get from the main terminal to all airside terminals quickly and efficiently.

The Rental Car Center can be reached by taking the SkyConnect train from the Main Terminal. You can find more information about car rentals by visiting the Tampa Airport Website.

Uber and Lyft – Rideshares are one of the most used ways to travel to and from airports, and the Tampa Airport is no different than the rest. Uber and Lyft can both make drop-offs at Ticketing, Baggage Claim, or the SkyCenter One office building, and pick-ups at Red Baggage Claim – be safe and confirm you are getting into the correct vehicle!
