BA uses the F satellite but where is passport control? One description I found seems to put passport control and customs in F...makes me wonder because that would likely mean having to get your bags to the main terminal either by giving them "back" or manhandling them on the tram. Also, where do BA arriving pax enter the public area of the main terminal? I need to be at that spot as my friend will need assistance with her bags, carry-on etc. There isn't a decent map of TPA terminals anywhere on the internet - or am I just missing it? Many thanks! KM
All international arrivals is done within Terminal F, you have a choice to resend your bag in Terminal F to the red channel or you can take your own bags to take the tram. Overall all arriving passengers will come out where AA passengers comes out. So the best place is the end of the tram. You can spot all passengers from Terminal F in where the tram is.
When new international terminal is finished this is likely to change.
