TPA security wait times are generally pretty good but can get lengthier in the morning and around holidays. Aim to leave for the airport 3 hours for an international flight and 2 hours for a domestic flight and you should breeze through without delay.
Your TPA security wait times can be reduced significantly with TSA PreCheck membership. Check out today's estimated TSA PreCheck wait times at TPA above in addition to open lane info. To find out more about joining or renewing TSA PreCheck membership visit and the associated benefits visit https://www.tsa.gov/precheck.
Tampa is not the tourist hotspot that Orlando is so the number of arriving international flights is relatively modest. However, at times, getting processed as an arriving non-US citizen can take a good deal of time if you haven't already been processed at a connecting destination in the US. For a fee, expedited entry is available at TPA via the Global Entry program.
