Why You Should Take a Flight to Tampa

With its beautiful beaches, glitzy city centre, vibrant nightlife, buzzing arts scene and wonderful weather, Tampa is the epitome of Florida cool. With year-round sunshine and so many activities to choose from there is never a bad time to visit.


When to Book Flights to Tampa

The most popular time to visit Florida is during the winter months, when temperatures are still warm (averaging around 20°C) and there is little rain. If you plan to visit between November and April be sure to book well in advance. The city gets extra busy during spring break over Easter and during February’s state fair.

Between May and August the temperatures rise and there is more chance of rain. But Tampa is still a popular summer holiday destination for families.

Hurricane season lasts from June until November, but the chance of being hit by a storm are slim.

Perhaps the best time to visit Tampa is in September and October when there are fewer visitors and the weather is cooler.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Tampa?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Tampa holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tampa?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Tampa, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
