Main Terminal / Concourses at Tampa TPA Airport

Terminal Layout at Tampa Airport, Getting Around, International Arrivals, Landside Terminal and Airside Satellites A, C, E & F:

Tampa International Airport has one three-level passenger terminal, referred to as the 'Landside Terminal', which is surrounded by four satellites - Airsides A, C, E & F
- and connected by the monorail.  The Landside building includes short-term parking at its basement level, and the long-term parking garage is across from it.   All passengers, whether arriving or departing, will pass through the Transfer Level 3 of the Landside Building; departing passengers proceed to Level 2, while arriving passengers go down to level 1 for baggage claim.

For passenger pickup
use the cell phone lot  accessible from I-274 & S.R.60, on Bessie Coleman Blvd (adjacent to the US Post Office); or use  short-term parking inside the landside building.
