Another shoebox. The plus? Lots of seating options, especially workstations, far more than PHX. Food options are standard fare, similar to a continental...

Another joke. Closed club because of low flyers. Paying for memberships don't mean anything anymore. This sucks.

I like almost all of these sky clubs. When at the airport, these are the best places to sit in a comfy chair, charge your phone, and get some tasty snacks....

Overall ratings
Tampa is not a large airport, thus this is one of the smaller AA lounges, and as such does not have as many amenities or as much variety in the food as at larger airports. But the staff are top-notch, and the lounge has always been quiet, relaxed, and uncrowded whenever I have visited. The lounge and bathroom are kept neat and clean.
I paid for my first class domestic fight, but not allowed to use the club due the inconsistent policy. Nonsense! Not impressed!
