Cheap Flights to Tampa International AirportThere are cheap flights to Tampa International Airport which will usually get you a better priced airfare than flying into Sarasota. But then you’ll have to drive to Sarasota, about 75 minutes on I-275 South, across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, then onto I-75 south. There are a couple of bonuses to driving to Sarasota: First: you get a very beautiful and scenic drive across Tampa Bay. Second: at five and a half miles in length, you get to motor over the world’s longest cable-stayed concrete bridge, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (there’s a one dollar toll to cross).
Cheap Flights to TampaTampa International Airport, while a large metropolitan airport is still quite easy to find your way around. Upon your arrival in the Airside of the airport you will shuttle to the transfer level, level 3, on a tram, where you may meet those who may be awaiting your arrival or simply proceed to the baggage claim area one level below. (Non-ticketed guests are not allowed to the Airsides. Visitors meeting incoming passengers may wait on the Transfer Level at the shuttle exit). From there, you simply pick up your luggage. If you have a rental car reservation awaiting you, the rental counters are situated nearby across the walkway in the Red Baggage Claim Area and across the walkway in the Blue Baggage Claim Area. Once on the road, it’s off to Sarasota. Simply follow the signs out of the airport and then follow I-275 south through the Tampa and then the St. Pete area. There are numerous other Interstate junctions along the route that can become confusing, but not as long as you pay attention that you’re following I-275 south. A few miles after crossing the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, I-275 south will merge into I-75 south, which you then simply follow on to Sarasota.
