TPA Airport Lounges: Delta Sky Club, Admirals Club, Access

TPA's airport map names two airline lounges and one more listing. The airport publishes no separate lounge list. We found no Priority Pass, Centurion, Chase Sapphire or Capital One lounge in Tampa (details below).

• Airside E: Delta Sky Club, near Gate E68.
• Airside F: American Admirals Club, near Gate 85.
• Airside F: an "International Lounge" near Gate 78. The map shows it with no details.
• Airside A and Airside C: the airport map lists no lounge. Airside A airlines are Breeze, JetBlue, Sun Country and United.
• Main Terminal, Levels 1 to 3: no lounge on the airport map.

To reach any of these, you first ride the shuttle to your airside and clear that airside's security checkpoint.

The club is near Gate E68. Delta says it is one of TPA's largest carriers and offers a dedicated lounge here. Delta's house rules allow entry up to 3 hours before your departure time, and that limit does not apply to layovers.

Amex lists the club for U.S. Platinum Card holders and notes that access is subject to space. Amex lists amenities as premium food, beer and wine, Wi-Fi, TVs, flight monitors, and printers and copiers. Spirits cost extra, and the lounge is listed as over 18 only, with children under 2 admitted free with an adult.

Hours: Amex and Delta publish no opening hours for this club. Check the Fly Delta app or delta.com before you go.

TPA move: Delta says its Tampa club will move to the new Airside D in 2028 and get a major expansion and renovation. TPA's 2026 fact sheet dates Airside D to 2029 (see below).

The Admirals Club is on Airside F near Gate 85. American says that at TPA it offers a dedicated lounge and nonstops to roughly 10 destinations, including all of its hubs.

Hours: American lists 4:15 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. daily on one of its pages and 4:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily on another. Check aa.com on the day you fly.

American says one-day passes may be limited or not available when the club is full. American publishes no one-day price for this club, so check aa.com before you plan on buying one.

We found no confirmed day-pass price for either TPA lounge, so we list none. American says one-day passes for Admirals Clubs can be limited or unavailable. Delta Sky Club entry depends on your membership, card or ticket, so check your access on delta.com or in the Fly Delta app.

If you do not qualify for either club, the airside food and bars are the fallback. See our TPA restaurants guide.

Priority Pass's USA lounge index lists Florida lounges in Fort Lauderdale, Melbourne, Miami and Orlando, and we found no current Tampa lounge there. An old Priority Pass page for a "US Airways Club" at TPA still shows up in search, but US Airways no longer exists as a brand, so do not count on it. Open the Priority Pass app on the day you fly and look at TPA before you pay for a membership.

• American Express: the Global Lounge Collection lists TPA with one lounge, the Delta Sky Club on Airside E, for U.S. Platinum Card holders. We found no Centurion Lounge at TPA.
• Chase Sapphire: Chase's lounge page lists Boston, Dallas Fort Worth, JFK, Las Vegas, LaGuardia, Philadelphia, Phoenix and San Diego, plus a Los Angeles lounge marked coming soon. Tampa is not on it.
• Capital One: we could not confirm a Tampa lounge on Capital One's site. Check capitalone.com or your app.
• Citi and AAdvantage cardholders: American's access rules are on aa.com, so check what your card gets at the Admirals Club.

TPA broke ground on Airside D in 2024. The airport's pages disagree on the opening date. An older airport page says the 16-gate terminal will be done in late 2028 and have a mezzanine with two lounges. TPA's June 2026 fact sheet says Airside D is scheduled to open in 2029. Delta says its club will move there in 2028. Until Airside D opens, the clubs above are where you go.
