TPA expands nonstop service and amenities
Tampa International Airport continues to make headlines as renovations at the airport take shape. While we’re excited about all of the new amenities that will soon be available — from food to retail — we find ourselves most excited about the new nonstop flights coming from Tampa. Direct flights from Tampa to Havana just launched, direct flights to San Francisco and Iceland are set to begin soon and Lufthansa’s trips between Frankfurt and TPA remain popular.
Southwest to begin nonstop service to LaGuardia Airport
Now you can add nonstop service to New York’s Laguardia airport courtesy of Southwest Airlines. Fares for the nonstop flights, which will operate twice-a-day, will run as low as $89. With NYC being one of the most popular destinations for TPA travelers, providing nonstop service to the area was inevitable.
