Another option is flying into the Orlando International Airport. This airport is approximately one and a half hours from Tampa but travel times may vary depending on your final Tampa destination and the traffic conditions in Orlando. Over the years I haven’t seen any differences between the flight prices between Tampa and Orlando. However, due to Disney Orlando has a nice selection of International flights and I often find better flight times and international connections to/from Orlando. This is especially true for flight to Africa.

Good choices for booking your flight into Tampa include:
1) Priceline.com
2) Orbitz.com
3) Travelocity.com

Tampa International Airport has won many awards and much praise for its innovative design. It just opened a fancy new airside and more expansions are in the works, so the best just keeps getting better.

Speaking of expansions, both interstate highways into Tampa (I-4 and I-275) plus the Crosstown (aka Selmon) Expressway and the Veterans Expressway / Memorial Highway interchange are all currently being widened and rennovated, with several more years of uneven pavement and blinking barricades yet to go. Watch the orange cones!

For you rich slobs (or cruise takers), arrive by boat if you can. The trip under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and up the bay is gorgeous.

Tampa international Airport, off Memorial Highway and Fla.60, 5 miles northwest of downtown Tampa, is the major gateway to this area. All of the major car rental firms have booths at or near the airport.

You can fly there to Tampa International Airport. But be warned, cause they cancel flights all the time and you may have to wait for a few extra hours. I've been late many times returning home because of delays and cancelled flights.
Automobiles are probably the best way to travel throughout the city. I've heard that they are trying to build a monorail system throughout the state sometime soon. This will cut down on traffic and be a big help to everyone.

When you get there you will have
to ride this train, this airport the one i like
