Travel Information

Tampa International Airport services the Tampa Bay Area. The airport has been widely praised for its attractive architecture and hassle-free design.

Tampa International Airport's Landside/Airside terminal was the first of its type in the world. There is a central "Landside Terminal" where baggage and ticketing functions take place. The Landside Terminal is surrounded by four Airside satellites where airliner embarkment and disembarkment occur. Each Airside is connected to the Landside Terminal via an elevated automated people mover.

Since its opening in 1971, TPA Airport has used a special color-coding system throughout its terminal complex. The Baggage Claim Areas and Ticket Counters are color coded Blue and Red. Airlines are assigned a color depending on their location within the Landside Terminal Building. The airlines found in the south side of the terminal are color coded Blue. The carriers located in the north side are color coded red. 

The Quorum Hotel offers complimentary airport transportation. Please follow the signs to baggage claim and use the courtesy phones to locate the nearest Quorum Shuttle.
