We had a fantastic experience at Tampa. It was a breeze and immigration such a nicer experience than MCO! Drive wasn’t too bad either.

There some really YouTube videos available that have been filmed as some people have walked through.

Spend 5 mins watching them and you understand it - it’s much easier and quicker than Orlando

The Uber site advises that you’ll be directed to your pick up point by the app once you book your ride:

The car hire is a long way from the main airport, so on the monorail until the last stop.

Fantastic airport, it’s immaculate. I think it puts Gatwick/Heathow to shame really.

We always use Tampa and flew in only 5 days ago.

My big tip is use the MPA, mobile passport app. Download and pre fill as much as you can then as soon as you get Wi-Fi just complete it. When you get to immigration take the left hand lane for MPA and Global Entry.
There was absolutely no queue at all. Straight through to baggage claim.

We love Tampa airport and find it very easy to move through. Well signposted.

I am now confused.

Your post seems the most sensible but having looked at various videos on YT - these seem to show the baggage claim (red and blue) on the lower floor if the main terminal -as per the op’s original post which suggested you get the monorail to the terminal and then collect bags ?

Help plz ?

The baggage claim in the main terminal is the domestic baggage claim, which you won't use arriving on an international flight. The international baggage claim is in Airside F, where customs and the international arrival gates are.

OP's order would have been correct (minus the immigration part) if they were talking about arriving on a domestic flight - in that case, you do take the monorail before baggage claim.
