The airport is usually reserved for teary-eyed goodbyes and joyous reunions, but the airport’s marketing team also wants to keep people entertained. The best example of that is the Friday Flight series, which kicked off last October with a show by Tampa lounge legends The Vodkanauts. They greeted passengers arriving at TIA’s main terminal with swinging sounds and warm welcomes you can usually only get at a bar. Pretty unorthodox, but inherently Tampa — and we love it. 4100 George J. Bean Pkwy, Tampa, 813-870-8700, tampaairport.com
