Tampa’s Airport Earns Strange Honor

Tampa International Airport is pretty popular around here. And for a good reason. You realize how good we have it at the end of a vacation when we have to fly back to Tampa. Tampa International Airport isn't too big or too small. It's efficient. Flights are usually on time. It's quick and easy to get through security compared to most other airports. And apparently it's a pretty great airport when you have to poop.

Yes, Tampa International Airport is the proud champion of the 2022 Cintas America Best Restroom Contest. Specifically it's the renovated Airside C restroom that flushed the competition. What's so special about THAT restroom? The airport says the Terminal C restrooms have a high-end design with Florida-inspired cockpit decor. Sensor-activated sinks and soap with personal paper towel dispensers are all within reach and that seemed to score points.

Cintas awarded Tampa International $2,500 in products, which the airport has donated to Hurricane Ian recovery efforts.
