Business Class flights to Tampa
The only airline with direct business class flights to Tampa from London is British Airways, which utilises a Boeing 777. Other US airlines such as Delta and United offer one-stop connections in other US cities.
BA offers daily flights from London Gatwick to Tampa, departing from South Terminal. As a Business Class customer you’ll have access to the airline’s swanky new business class lounge, which has 40% more floor space than the previous incarnation of the lounge and features seating for 469 customers. Boasting large panoramic windows overlooking the runway, the lounge is flooded with natural light and features artwork from UK artists including Turner-prize winning painter Chris Ofili. Onboard the aircraft you’ll be able to convert your seat into a fully flat bed and sink into comfy bedding created by The White Company. The seat is equipped with electronic power points and a 10.4″ entertainment screen, so you can either connect your laptop and catch up with work or sit back and watch a movie.
Getting to and from the airport
Many visitors choose to hire a car in Florida in order to be able to explore the state conveniently. Car hire desks are available directly across the walkway in the Red and Blue baggage claim areas and you’ll find most major providers here, including Avis, Budget, Hertz and Enterprise.
Alternatively you can pick up a taxi from the curbside outside the Baggage Claim Level. Services are run by Yellow Cab and United Cab – both companies charge the same fares: $2.50, plus $2.40 per mile. The minimum fee from the airport is $15 and there is a flat rate fee of $25 to downtown Tampa and the cruise terminal.
Shuttle services are available to book with SuperShuttle, or you can take the public bus from the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit bus stop located at the west end of the Red Baggage Claim curbside.
