Tampa International Airport (TPA) is the best large airport in the country, according to a recent ranking from JD Power. This is the second year in a row that JD Power threw such high praise at our local travel hotspot. Tampa International Airport soared in the rankings thanks to strong scores across all factors. Public art, a robust food and beverage program, superb customer service, ample amenities pre- and post-security, and a deluge of international routes all make TPA stand out among the pack. This is in addition to the improvements being made to the facilities year after year. We can’t wait for Airside D to arrive.

“What makes TPA special is the love and support we’ve received from our travelers, residents and airport partners over the years, so this No. 1 spot truly belongs to all,” Lopano said. “We’re proud to represent our region with back-to-back J.D. Power wins as we continue to shine along with our incredible Tampa Bay community.”
Now in its 18th year, the study is based on 27,147 completed surveys from U.S. or Canadian residents who traveled through at least one U.S. or Canadian airport and covers both departure and arrival experiences (including connecting airports) during the past 30 days. Travelers evaluated either a departing or arriving airport from their round-trip experience. The study was fielded from August 2022 through July 2023.
