USO Tampa Bay Welcome Center

A valuable landside respite for eligible military travelers, not a conventional airline or cardholder lounge.

How to get in

USOFor eligible members of the military community and their families.

The honest take

The USO Tampa Bay Welcome Center is in the Main Terminal before security and is intended for eligible members of the military community and their families.

Use it for a landside wait or before clearing security; it is not part of Priority Pass, LoungeKey, Amex Centurion or Chase Sapphire Lounge networks.
