Tampa International Airport is the gateway to Florida’s West Coast, serving 24.5 million passengers in 2025. With Delta Air Lines and American Airlines accounting for around 17% of passenger traffic, eligible passengers can wait for flights in the comfort of airport lounges.

When accessing a lounge in a different concourse, passengers should allow extra time to reach their gate, as each airside concourse at TPA has a security checkpoint at the entrance.
