Tampa:
Pros: Easy to navigate, quick TSA to gate process / Clean / More relaxed and less hectic than Orlando.
Cons: No Groome transportation, and TRAFFIC to deal with.
I don’t mind the few extra miles of driving to Tampa, but it’s the nightmare traffic, especially during snowbird season that keeps me going to Orlando.
Why are airports (both Orlando and Tampa) always on the far side of town from where I am traveling? If Tampa Airport was located in their northern suburbs (say near Wesley Chapel), then Tampa would be a no-brainer to use.

There's a homeless encampment at the terminal at MCO??????
I have my doubts, but if true, why wouldn't those in charge clear
that out? A few SWAT officers with M-16's could do that in about 30 seconds. Then maybe a flight out of Florida?
