Last year, Tampa International Airport created the The All-Access program, which allowed Tampa Bay residents to enjoy its airside restaurants on Saturdays. Earlier today, TPA announced that this popular airside dining initiative will now be available everyday.
Any day of the week, you can now eat at various restaurants inside of TPA without having to catch a flight. If you’d like to take part in this terminal dining trend , all you have to do is to sign up for All-Access program at least 24 hours before visiting TPA and pick up your pass at the kiosk, located on the third level of the main terminal.
After obtaining the All-Access pass at the kiosk, you’ll go through a security checkpoint at your designated airside, and then head to whatever restaurant catches your eye. All-Access participants are subjected to the same TSA security screenings as any other passenger.
Popular Tampa Bay restaurants like Columbia, Ulele, Bavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria, Cigar City Brewing and Mise en Place all have locations inside of Tampa International Airport. TPA is also the home of the Potbelly location in Florida, as well as one of the only Starbucks in Tampa Bay that sells its special reserve coffees.
TPA’s All-Access Pass are available daily from 8 a.m- 8 p.m., and will be limited at 25 people per airside. Terminals with popular restaurants like Ulele and Cigar City Brewing at airside C might fill up faster than others.
