 The Sunshine Skyway by ZenGator
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. Leave a Comment

If you are flying into the Tampa area you are in luck we have some of the highest rated airports in the world.
There are two airports to choose from:
1) the Tampa International Airport – http://www.tampaairport.com/ Airport Code TIA
2) St Petersburg Clearwater Airport - http://www.fly2pie.com/ Airport code PIE
TIA is the larger of the two airports and has the most flights, however PIE has quite a few discount airlines so it is worth looking into.
As of this writing the discount airlines to/from these two airports include:
Tampa Discount Airlines Include:
1) Jet Blue
2) Spirit
3) Song
4) Southwest

8) Conquest Vacations: www.conquestvacations.com Service to the following cities: Toronto
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 Leave a Comment

Tampa traffic can be pretty nerve racking. Especially on Dale Mabry Blvd and I-275 during the morning and evenings. Use the Veterans Expressway (toll) for a quicker north south route on the west side of town. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Either rent a car for a day if you want to see a lot, or taxis are always available (though they get hard to come by around closing time!), or live life on the edge and get a lift home from someone you met in the club.... Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You can get here easily by car, bus, train or plane. We have a beautiful international airport. I disagree with some of the other reviews here about the airport. There are parking areas where you pay to park, but you pay when you leave. You can only stop and unload or load at the airport itself, otherwise you have to go to the parking lot. Is there something wrong with that. We also have a cruise ship port that has a lot of new shops, theater and an aquarium.
We have a public transit system, but it is a bus. Rent a car. That is the best way to get around town. Rent a convertible and enjoy our wonderful weather. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
