TAMPA, Fla. – If you have a flight at the Tampa International Airport, prepare for some changes when you’re driving in.
Travelers headed to the red side of the main terminal should be aware of a temporary detour.
A pavement resurfacing project will affect the Red Departures drive to the ticketing level beginning August 31 at 7 a.m. The project is similar to work done on the blue side departures drive last summer.
Work crews will be removing and replacing the traffic coating on all four lanes of the drive as part of scheduled maintenance to ensure optimal facility quality and traffic flow. The closure is scheduled to last until mid-October.
Guests who are being dropped off for their flights at red side airlines will be directed to instead drive to and get out at the red express curbsides to enter the terminal.
Signage and airport staff will direct travelers through the building to reach the ticketing level on the second floor of the terminal. Curbside bag check-in will be available at the red express departures drive.
Travelers who are not checking bags and already have their boarding passes may head up the Rred express escalators or elevators to the third level to reach the shuttle to their airside.
Red Side airlines include:
Air Canada
Alaska Airlines
Avelo Airlines
Breeze Airways
British Airways
Discover Airlines
Edelweiss Air
Frontier
Southwest Airlines
Sun Country Airlines
WestJet
