Report: TPA ranks No. 1 in passenger satisfaction

• Tampa International scored 715 on a 1,000-point scale from travelers, who found it to be "well-designed, well-run," and brimming with food and retail options.
• The airport received specific praise for how easy it is to navigate the terminal and, of course, our beloved flamingo, Phoebe!

The fine print: The findings are based on more than 24,000 surveys from U.S. and Canadian residents who had traveled through an airport in either country within the last month.

• The two airport design features most tied to passenger satisfaction were clear signs that make it easy to get around and architecture that reflects the character of the city.

Zoom out: Other Florida airports ranked high, too.

• Southwest Florida International Airport ranked ninth among large airports.
• Among mega airports, Miami ranked seventh and Orlando International 10th.
