Where should we meet for a pickup at TPA?
TPA’s regular pickup curbs are outside baggage claim on the Blue or Red Arrivals side and permit active loading only. Travelers without checked bags or a baggage-claim stop can use the separately signed Blue or Red Express curb, so the driver needs both the color side and regular-versus-Express choice.
