Sample itinerary
A typical Tampa to Tampa International Airport transfer begins when your chauffeur arrives at your Downtown address 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Luggage is loaded, the vehicle departs, and the driver selects the fastest corridor for the 6-mile drive — typically 15 minutes door-to-door, or up to 25 minutes during rush hour. At TPA the driver pulls directly to Blue or Red baggage claim curbside on the Transfer Level, across from your airside shuttle exit and unloads bags curbside so you can walk straight to check-in. For return trips, the chauffeur watches your inbound flight and meets you after you clear baggage claim, using the 60-minute complimentary wait window built into every TPA pickup.
