How delays work at PIE

A ground stop holds flights bound for PIE at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • Economy parking is $12 per day, with a free shuttle every 20 minutes on average.
  • Check which gate area you need before you go through security, since the two departure areas are not connected.
  • The cell phone lot is free for pickups, but vehicles left there overnight will be towed.
  • Plan a ride to the airport in June and July, when parking is most limited.
