The only option my husband would have had would be to go to the Delta Sky Club in terminal E, but unlike many other airports (ex. Orlando, Atlanta, MSP), Tampa's security is at the end of each gate, so this would require multiple security checks and well as multiple monorails. This is really not that practical. I'm think Delta customers may cause push-back; we will have to see.
Also, the Virgin plane leaves fairly late (tonight at 8.50pm), so this limits food and beverage purchase options before take-off.
Thanks for providing the research! A shame that there are so little options especially considering Tampa airport isn't actually that 'bad' an airport either. This is what we get for not living near a megahub
