Tampa Intl. Airport – Spotting Guide

January 13, 2019 - last modified on September 28, 2026

Tampa International Airport (TPA/KTPA) is the main point of entry for the Greater Tampa Bay Area, which besides the city of Tampa also includes St. Petersburg and Clearwater, and the cities along the gulf coast south of the Tampa Bay (Bradenton, Sarasota), which are popular destinations among “snowbirds”. Hence the airport is served by all major domestic carriers (except for Allegiant, which utilizes St. Petersburg as its hub for the area), with Southwest Airlines leading the pack as TPA is one of its focus cities.

Slowly the airport also emerges as a gateway into the Florida gulf coast region for tourists from Europe, however, British Airways, Eurowings and Edelweiss offer frequent connections from Europe all year. TPA also sees a decent volume of cargo traffic – UPS, FedEx and Amazon Air, each of them has a hub there, so 757s, 767s and MD-11s are frequent sightings.

The airport has three runways, but the two parallel runways are in use most of the time, so most movements are fairly predictable. That and given all of the spotting locations on the garages provide a great view and are close to the action makes it one of the most spotter-friendly airports in the USA. It’s a paradise, especially for those who are not looking to get an artsy-fartsy shot – although those are possible – but are simply chasing registrations.

01R/19L 2530 m (8,300 ft)
01L/19R 3353 m (11,002 ft)
Terminals
Main Terminal (landside) The main terminal is in the heart of the airport and it is the access point for all spotting locations listed in this guide except for spot #7. Here you will also find food, drinks and restrooms.
Concourse A (airside) United Airlines, JetBlue, Spirit Airlines, Silver Airways
Concourse C (airside) Alaska, Avelo, Breeze, Sun Country, Southwest Airlines
Concourse E (airside) Air Canada, Delta, Frontier
Concourse F (airside) American plus all other intl. carriers like Virgin, Birtish, Discover, Westjet…
Spotting Information
Ladder Not required.
Car/Public Transport Car required for spots 7-11. Once at the main terminal, all other locations can be reached via the airport’s own train system (“SkyConnect”) or by foot.
Restrooms In the main terminal and in the rental car center.
Drinks/Food There are a handful of fast food places and mid-range restaurants as well as a convenience store located on the 3rd level of the main terminal.
Hotels The Marriott is the only hotel on airport grounds, it is located right night next to the main terminal (See spot 12). Numerous alternatives including more reasonable options can be found all around the airport and most of them offer a shuttle service to the airport and the rental car center.
Season Best in early spring (March-April), when temperatures are still enjoyable and days are getting longer. Avoid May through November even if its a north/south runway direction. It will get hot and humidity will increase, so thunderstorms and heat distortion due to the distance is likely.
Security Spotters are generally very welcome at TPA. Airport management supports spotting from all of the parking garages and there is no permit required to do so, simply stick to the rules of common sense.
Runway Usage
10/28 Rarely used, only when required due to weather. When coming from South Florida Silver Airways often uses 28 for landings even when 01/19 are operative.
01R/19L Norhern Ops: Mainly in use for departures by airlines using the eastern terminals like Southwest, United, Breeze, Spirit.
Southern Ops: Mainly in use for arrivals airlines using the eastern terminals like Southwest, United, Breeze, Spirit.Furthermore almost all GA and Silver Airways flights use this runway for arrivals and departures, no matter which direction is active.
01L/19R Northern Ops: Mainly in use for all arrivals except GA traffic and Silver Airways. Furthermore used for departures by carriers using the western terminals like American, Delta, Frontier.
Southern Ops: Mainly in use for all departures. Preferred arrival runway by airlines using the western terminals like American, Delta, Frontier.

Grand Hyatt - 01L Arrivals & 19R Departures

WHERE If you are a guest at the hotel you can simply take the shuttle bus from the airport. Otherwise you need a car to get to this spot. Coming from the airport (George J. Bean Pkwy, main terminal or rental car center) take exit “Clearwater (Highway 60 East)”. Keep following the signs to Clearwater, then get off at exit “Bayport Dr” (180 degree turn). At the stop sign, turn right and go straight at the next stop sign. From there you can already see two high-rise buildings to your left, one of them is the Grand Hyatt. Follow the road to the hotel. It offers a rooftop terrace on the uppermost floor with a great view of the airport. Furthermore you can book a room in advance facing eastwards in one of the uppermost floors.
Attention as March 2024: the parking garage was used to be a good spotting location but due to new installed power lines, light poles and the growing vegetation, it is no longer possible to take adequate photos from here. If you are not a hotel guest please use spot 7 or 10 instead.

TIME From around noon until sunset.
MISC. Of course you should be a hotel guest to use the terrace. Might be closed for public due to private events.

Skyway Park Trail - 01L arrivals

WHERE The Skyway Park Trail runs along the highway 60 and begins at the Hyatt Hotel (Spot 8) and ends at the Cypress Beach (Spot 7). So get rid of your car at one of the previous mentioned locations and walk along the trail until you have reached the 01L approach path. You can portions yourself all along the trail for your preferred angle. The advantage of this spot compared to the other two is that you can get much closer to the traffic.

Then stay in the right lanes and follow the signs to Eisenhower Blvd / Air Cargo. Once on Eisenhower Blvd stay in the second lane from the right. Turn right at the light towards Raymond James Stadium / Air Cargo and continue on road through runway 19R approach zone. Make a U-turn at the second left (not permitted at the first intersection). Then follow the W Hillsborough Ave back in the right lane towards Eisenhower Blvd. Immediately after passing through the next lights at the intersection of W Hillsborough Ave and Benjamin Rd take the exit (There are no signs!). Follow this dead exit road to the abandoned gate and park your car roadside / on the shoulder near the gate. Pick a spot closer to the main road to clear power lines and various signs in the frame.

Tampa Airport Marriott - Ramp

WHERE The “Tampa Airport Marriott” is a fantastic plane spotting hotel which is connected directly to the terminal. All rooms are offering a partially view of the airport, but we recommend to book one in the northern or western side. The eastern side is blocked by the sky train to the southwest satellite. Furthermore request a room in one of the upper levels. All rooms have huge windows, which cannot be opened. Another option is to visit on of the outside stairwells. You can also stay at the pool area and watch the traffic.
WHAT Depends one where you stay but in general best for cargo ramp on the west side and taxiway Alpha and Bravo on the north side. Runway 01L/19R is visible in the distance but a bit far for proper photos.
TIME Usually the whole day if you face north. Western part in the morning.
MISC. Everything you need is in the hotel. Be aware of trees and light poles that may interrupt the sight.
FOCAL LENGTH 100-300mm should cover everything

Airport Service Rd - 01R movements

WHERE Pretty nice location directly at the threshold of runway 01R.  You can easily reach it from the rental car center and the economy parking garages by driving eastwards on Airport Service Rd. Pass the approach path and park the car by the roadside after the right turn. The fence is not really high at this point so if you are tall enough you can shoot over it or climb on the guardrail. If you have a pickup truck you can use the bed too (see Southwest sample photo). Furthmore you can stay a bit southwards where the fence is going down so you can easily clear it (see United old colors).
WHAT Awesome place for all 01R line-ups and arrivals. Part of the GA can be seen as well.
TIME From Sunrise until around noon.
MISC. No food and drinks, no restrooms. Bring what you need. According to local spotters, police occasionally shows up, but usually just asks a couple of questions. During our last visit we didn’t encounter any problems, but as always be prepared to be approached by police and follow the golden rules – stay calm, be nice, be cooperative.

Hi –

Not sure if I understand what you mean by “I added a new spot” – only the spotterguide.net crew members can edit the guides. Please send 1-2 sample photos to support@spotterguide.net for us to review.

Thanks,
Thomas

Well I guess I forgot that the spottersguide.net crew are the only ones to add spots. Anyway a week ago I contacted the crew to add a new spot to the TPA spotting guide and I scented some pictures too but if you want more I uploaded a 30 minute YouTube video of me plane spotting there. And btw the footage was recorded 1 year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_Pcln5Ttvo

Hi, Kevin here from Tampa. Been here pretty much most my life and have flown in and out of here many times. Never plane watched before but interested in trying it sometime. What are good areas to join other spotters to meet and do you guys mind newcomers.

I found myself another great spot for 1L arrivals. As I prefer approach shots there 7s a great place for 1L from 12 noon on. Go to spot 8 and park your car I the garage. Leave the garage on the back side towards the highway. Just in front of the high wall in front of the highway there is a jogging and biking trail called the Skyway Park trail. Follow this and it leads you straight to the 1L approach. Pick your favourite spot. I can imagine that you can also stand directly under the landing aircraft but I did not check this

Hi Jürgen, is there any advantage to leave the garage and walk down to the trail? I am just wondering because 01L can be photographed from the garage as well.

Hi Julian, for me definitely because
– much closer to the incoming traffic
– no disturbing lamp posts
– some shade with trees available

Hello, first of all, this is a very useful guide! I’ve looked at other sites when I’ve wanted to do spotting before, but I have not been to this spotting guide before. I love the way you have the information laid out so clearly, so I will be coming back with questions about different airports once I do start traveling again, hopefully soon. I live near Portland Airport, KPDX, but may be going to Tampa to visit family soon. I would love to be able to do some spotting while there, but I come at it from a different angle, as I happen to be totally blind, yet have as strong as ever passion for following airplanes. I note there are quite a few possible spots, but can anyone tell me if there might be any of these where I could really be able to hear the sounds of landings/takeoffs? I bring a scanner so I can monitor ATC so I know what’s coming. I’ve done this sort of thing already at LAX and SFO, and have had a blast each time. Obviously, I’m not worried about camera angles/lenses, although I could try taking videos for the sound using my iPhone if I caught anything that did sound good. I usually am resourceful enough where I can find help getting to where I’d need to go, so please don’t let that get in the way of any suggestions. This got long, I know, thanks at least for listening!

Hi Pete, thanks for your positive feedback. I don’t live in Tampa but have been there some years ago. The major spots are all on the parking garages in the middle of the airport, between the runways. In you situation I don`t think these are the best spots for you as they are too far away from the runway as you focus on their sound only. I think the best places for you are the Cypress Point Park or the La Salle St. Both are quiet places and should be fine for you. Both are okay if runway 01L/19R is active.
Hope this will help you!
Best Regards
Julian

The Grand Hyatt 14th floor rooftop patio can be used for plane spotting bc I heard from one of the Grand Hyatt Armanis is permanently shut down. The Staff is friendly at the hotel and was ok with spotters going up there and taking pictures.

My son and I are flying into the hotel at the airport hoping to get some spotting in. He’s the spotter, I’m the supportive dad who lugs the gear and pays the bills. Anyone got any tips for spotting while staying at the airport overnight?

Hi Javier,

First of all two thumbs up for you supporting your son’s passion!

Unfortunately, it’s not the best time of the year for spotting in Florida, but since you’ll be there anyway I recommend to try early in the morning (starting right at sunrise). In terms of weather and light this will probably be the best chance for some decent shots. It often gets ugly during the day and thunderstorms are common. There might be decent “gaps” in the later afternoon, but it will likely be humid and hazy …

In terms of spotting locations, you can easily move between the parking garages by taking the airport train. So if you are in any of the airport hotels other than the Marriott (which is right next to the terminal), then park your car in the economy garage and use the airport train from there. For details regarding traffic patterns and the individual advantages and disadvantages of each spotting location please check the guide.

P.S.: Tell you son to pick a more northern airport during the summer months next time 😉

Happy spotting,

Thomas

Hallo Thomas
Thanks for you answer. I totally agree with you and I am a great fan and supporter of the guide, using it always for my trips and sharing it with all my spotter contacts.
I also have already contributed to the guide, writing some guide and updating others.
That’s why I suggest not to use generic indications – 100-400 you will admit, is not a realistic indication – but, as done in the most airport guides in Spotterguide.net, indicate in the focal lens used for the specidf photo shown.

I give you an example because it is needed: in many cases, I did not go to a specific airport because the focal lens lenght indicated in your guide was out from what I have available or because, again as an example, because ai don’t like pics taken with more that 300 mm.
I must also add that I still use slides and so, the focal lenght issue is even more relevant.

Your guides are simply great, much better than any other is possible to find on the net. Keeping them relevant and at the top position is a great job you and your team are doing. To keep it at the top, adding just a more simple info, would be even better.

All the best and again, congratulation for the great job you are doing for the spotter community.
Marco
