Welcome back! TPA All Access program returning to Tampa International Airport

You asked for it, now it's happening: TPA All Access is back!

The popular Airside access program, which allows guests who aren't traveling on a flight to visit any of TPA's four Airside terminals, officially makes its return to Tampa International Airport beginning November 3.

Visitors will be able to register in advance for passes through TSA security screening checkpoints to reach any of the Airport's dining and shopping options.

That means if you want to eat in Airside C at the only Goody Goody location in Tampa Bay or shop for luxury bags at Tumi in Airside F, even when you're not flying, you can!

TPA All Access was first launched in 2019 but was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now it's returning thanks to repeated requests from our devoted customers.

"We're thrilled to bring back our popular TPA All Access program, giving the entire community a chance to once again shop, dine and relax at Tampa International Airport without requiring a boarding pass," CEO Michael Stephens said. "Our guests have been eagerly asking for this special perk to return, and we're proud to reinstate the program as part of TPA's ongoing commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience."

To get a TPA All Access pass, follow these three easy steps:

1. Register online in advance for an available two-hour window to enter the Airside of your choice at our reservation site here.

2. Pick up your pass with a photo ID at the Information Desk on Level 3 in the Main Terminal between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on the day you're visiting.

3. Go through the TSA security screening checkpoint for the Airside you selected with your pass and ID like you're catching a flight and you're good to go!

With your TPA All Access pass, you'll be able to move throughout the Airside just like you're one of the travelers. Passholders also will be welcome to shop at Duty Free stores in Airsides E and F, but aren't allowed to buy tobacco or alcohol products at those stores.

Space is limited for each two-hour entry window to keep our Information Desk and TSA checkpoints from getting overcrowded, but you may stay as long as you want. Passes are only good for one Airside per visit. Visitors younger than 18 must be registered and accompanied by an adult.

TPA All Access users are subject to the same TSA security screening regulations as passengers boarding a plane. Guidelines for items prohibited in carry-on luggage - including liquids, aerosols and gels, - apply to personal items taken through security. A list of all TSA-prohibited items is available here.
