In a recent survey of favorite airports TPA
was not mentioned. I beleive this has to be a gross mistake, as in my opinion TPA is the best airport bar none in the country. No
hasseling by security in dropping off. Park
in the short term parking. elevator to the proper floor. ramps and monorail to your
boarding pod. What a great experience.

I agree - I've flown in and out of most mid-sized airports in the US at one point or another, and I have always liked TPA. Easy airport to use, reasonably nice amenities, general peaceful and free of the mobs one sees at MCO, easy to pickup/return a rental car (other than Hertz!), and usually not a traffic problem coming/going from the nearby highways. (When there has been traffic, I've been able to find a way around it to make it to my flight in plenty of time.)
