Here’s Who Is Behind Tampa International Airport’s Social Media Accounts

Author QYK Producer

If you don’t know already, we’re big fans of Tampa International Airport. We could go on for hours about how great our airport is but we won’t bore you. One of the standouts about Tampa International Airport (TPA) is its social media accounts. The posts are so good, timely, and funny, they almost give the airport it’s own personality.

Who is the person behind Tampa airport’s social media? The online voice for TPA is communications specialist C.J. Johnson. He’s the one creating those engaging social media posts. Johnson puts the pulse of TPA online for all to see. Every nook and cranny of the airport has the potential for great online content.

Johnson is on an airport adventure everyday. “No matter how long you are at the airport, there’s almost always something you’re going to learn, and I’m almost always finding out new things here,” said Johnson. He also gets to tell great tales of passengers passing through TPA. “We had a WWII veteran, named Spike, who came through here a couple of months ago. He was flying back to Normandy to march in a parade, and it was just a cool experience to meet someone. Literally, a legend and I get to help share his story on social media,” said Johnson.

Travel hacks are going viral ahead of this Thanksgiving’s rush. A trio of travel experts share their advice about how to make your journey smoother. https://t.co/91ve5LzbFZ pic.twitter.com/ulg6g19fhW

— CNN (@CNN) November 21, 2022?s=20&t=J5p9-NXwZ_jneaIVB1Hx-g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN, flying out on Thanksgiving day is actually easier than flying on the days leading up to Thursday. Over the next few days, 54 million people will travel 50+ miles from Wednesday and Sunday this week. The worst day for traveling is the Sunday after Thanksgiving — the single busiest travel day of the entire year.

The Monday before Thanksgiving, fares are 17% cheaper than flying out the Wednesday before, per Nerdwallet (via TikTok). By extending your trip one day and flying out Cyber Monday, you can save 15% on your flight as opposed to flying the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Airlines can allow passengers to track their checked luggage with an app, but TikTokers found a hack that’s even better: take a tracker like an Apple AirTag and drop it in your luggage.

Most people will drive this holiday, which makes sense: the average airfare prices are up about 40% from 2021, with leisure travelers paying an average of $289 one way, according to CNN. AAA estimates that 49 million will travel by car over holidays, compared to 4.5 million who fly. And for those drivers, gas prices are a far bigger concern than airfares.
