TPA ranks high for its public art program, pre- and post-security efficiencies, and its major renovations continue to make a visit to the airport a breeze. The blue express lanes are a game changer when dropping off friends at the airport.
The airport is readying for a hectic travel season. On average, nearly 80,000 passengers a day are expected to pass through TPA in the 11-day holiday travel period surrounding Thanksgiving, between Nov. 16 and Nov. 26. Passenger projections suggest the two busiest days will likely be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday following Thanksgiving. An estimated 84,000 to 87,000 passengers are expected to pass through the Airport on each of those two days.
