Tips on to booking your Tampa airfare

People love visiting Tampa throughout the entire year due to its warm weather. Flights are most popular during the high season months of January to April; during the spring, the weather is pleasantly warm during the day and cool at night. Shoulder season is in May and from October to November. Low season is in December and from June to September, so if you're looking to save money, these are the times that you should visit. Another great way to save money is to sign up for fare alerts; if there's a great deal on a particular route, Expedia can email you a notification. Consider flying to an alternative airport to save even more money; you'd be surprised how much you can save by landing at an airport half an hour away from your final destination.

How to survive the flight to Tampa?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Tampa holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tampa?
Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Tampa easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
