Samantha Brown Calls TPA The Best Airport In The U.S.
Anyone who has flown into or out of Tampa knows how great Tampa International Airport is. Even professional travelers such as Samantha Brown know where the best airport in the U.S. is.
Samantha Brown, a TV host and professional traveler, has traveled to over 60 countries, according to her website. As host of “Samantha Brown’s Places to Love,” “Great Vacation Home” and “Samantha Brown’s Great Weekends,” Samantha has been to many airports around the globe. On her website, Samantha has an airport survival guide, ways to reduce airport stress, and other airport travel tips. As someone who knows what she’s talking about, which airport Samantha says is her favorite should be taken seriously.
As far as favorite airports go, Samantha doesn’t hold back when saying which is hers. She told Forbes in January that it’s Tampa International Airport. She called it the “best airport in the U.S.” and that she’s flown through Tampa monthly for years. She loves the architecture, the way traffic moves through, and especially The Columbia Restaurant.

It’s not just Samantha Brown who feels this way. In 2022, TPA won “America’s Best Restroom Contest.” However, it goes much further than that. In 2024, according to Airports Council International, the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) award for the best airport handling 15 to 25 million passengers per year went to two airports, Dallas Love Field Airport and Tampa International Airport. In 2023, J.D. Power handed a similar title to Tampa International Airport.
Tampa International Airport also features accessible services. Guests visiting Tampa International can participate in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program. This program lets the airport staff know that a traveler may be in need of a helping hand or guidance around the airport.
