Tampa or Orlando? During non-peak traffic hours, Tampa is just a few minutes and miles further. However, because of road conditions on I-75 and 275, I find the drive to Tampa safer and much less stressful. It is cheaper because there are no tolls. Now that construction is complete, the Tampa airport is easier to enter and exit.
There is only one major route to the Orlando airport and there can be major delays caused by accidents, construction and rush hours. If you are faced with a possible delay, Tampa has an excellent option, the Veterans Parkway, an under-used toll road (only $2), which goes directly to the airport from an I-75 exit well north of the heaviest traffic areas.
