Tampa International Airport Spotting Guide

Published by Thomas at January 13, 2019 - last modified on November 11, 2022

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, DC-10s and MD-11s are frequent sightings.

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. 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.

Runways
10/28 2133 m (6,999 ft)
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, Alaska Airlines, and Silver Airways
Concourse C (airside) Southwest Airlines
Concourse E (airside) Delta Airlines (incl. Delta Connection), Frontier Airlines, WestJet, Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge
Concourse F (airside) American Airlines (incl. American Eagle), Lufthansa, British Airways, Norwegian, Edelweiss Air, Copa Airlines and Cayman Airways
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 (north of it). 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.
Runway Usage
General Information There is no specific pattern, but if the two parallel runways are operative, which mostly is the case, then often inbounds use the one adjacent to their terminals. In general, runway 01L/19R takes the major volume of traffic, especially takeoffs on 19R and landings on 01L, mainly for noise abatement.
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 Used in both directions.
01L/19R Used in both directions. Handles most of the traffic.

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.

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

The only useful indication is at spot 9, all the others, with 100-400, 200-400 etc. Is pretty useless. It is possible to have a better details about the photo/lens/aircraft type as greatly done in the other guides?

Dorapilot,

Thank you for your comment.

I definitely agree that it is useful to get as many details as possible for every location, however, I disagree, that a focal range is useless information – it tells you what lens you need if you want to be able to catch everything from a certain location. From the spots located on the parking garages all runways and taxiways and most parts of the ramp are viewable, which means planes can be spotted at various distances – very close to far distant – and angles. It would be a very long list, if all aircraft types are listed at every possible position.

For spots #9 and #10, the focal length for a specific aircraft is listed because those are locations where you don’t or can’t move around and the planes pass by on a steady path and at a more or less steady distance.

Also, be reminded that all this information is being gathered by a bunch of passionate volunteers who sacrifice valuable time to create these spotting guides (no doubt having fun doing that, but most of us have a regular fulltime job to pay the bills and a family), and yet all is being shared free of charge. In other words, we take what we can get and happily share it with other spotters at no cost for them. You are more than welcome to contribute and provide missing data for any of the guides on this website.

Thank you,

Thomas

[…] for short-term parking for less than an hour. tampaairport.com, 4100 George J. Bean Parkway, Tampa. This website is a great way to find the best spots to park in the garage. Plane-watching could also be an option […]

The best spot I have is working the UPS Cargo right by the Amazon Prime parking. Nothing better then working around these beautiful birds and watching the morning rush.

I typically spot from the top of the short term parking garage; however, I discovered that you can actually get a permit (if you will) to take photos much closer to the runway/taxiways. They seem to be pretty strict on actually getting this permit for a select amount of time, so do you think I would be able to get one if I do it out of pure enjoyment?

Hi Zachary,

Can you provide us with more details regarding the permit and the location, which requires it? Generally speaking – as we know it from other airport – it’s the common procedure that you have to provide certain details, including dates and times, for a permit.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Zachary,

Now I understand where you are coming from.

This is only for big groups or commercial photography. All regular spotting activities for your own pleasure from publicly accessible locations do not require a permit.

This being said, for any of the locations listed in this guide you definitely don’t need a permit.

If you are on Facebook you can also check out “The Plane Spot”, which is a plane spotters group run by TPA airport, for more specific info.

Happy spotting,

Thomas
