Travelers have a new option right at their fingertips at TPA. The Airport’s TPA to Go mobile-ordering program. It allows guests to purchase food, drinks and other items in advance for pickup through Uber Eats. It’s a new way to skip the lines at many of Tampa International Airport’s restaurants and shops. Just in time for Spring Break.
Saving time with Uber Eats
Users can place an order quickly and reliably ahead of time at 18 restaurants and 4 retailers. This is especially helpful during spring break as the airport expects as many as 90,000 passengers on peak days during the period between March 7 and April 10.
TPA to Go is available to anyone at or headed to the Airport, including passengers, flight crews and airport staff. Travelers can set TPA as their location before they arrive, choose items from their favorite eatery or shop and have it ready for pickup when they get there.
“We’re thrilled that TPA travelers can now enjoy greater and more convenient access to our award-winning concessions program,” Airport VP of Concessions and Commercial Parking Laurie Noyes said. “Our partnership with Uber Eats is another way we’re elevating the guest experience by making shopping and dining at TPA easier and faster. It’s a great value for our customers.”

TPA is Uber’s first official U.S. airport partner. This is after working successfully at Toronto Pearson Airport in Canada. There were also pilot programs at John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio and Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina.
“At Uber, we know how busy airports can be and that sometimes travel can be stressful,” said Rob Mitchell. He’s Head of Airports Business Development at Uber. “That’s why we’re excited to give travelers and folks who work at the airport a lot more convenience and a little less stress when they’re hungry by bringing Uber Eats skip-the-line mobile ordering technology at restaurant and retail locations at Tampa International Airport.”
