Best way to pickup Elderly Parents at Tampa Airport ?

[jimmyc0000]

Hi ! We will be traveling from WDW to Tampa to pickup our older Parents and then head down to Siesta Key. Does anyone know the best way to go about this ? My Mom will be in a wheel chair, due to not being able to walk to far. We want to meet them when they arrive to help with thier luggage etc. We have never been to this airport. I was checking and see they have a Valet service for short term parking ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you !

If your mom is in a wheelchair, she can get skycap help to get her through the airport. They will retrieve luggage for her, too. This service is available in each airport that she goes through. They'll wheel her from plane to exit, and help along the way. If there's a cell phone lot you should be able to wait there til you think she's at the exit doors. Does she have a cell phone to call you? Or you could park in short term parking and go in when you think she's through luggage claim.

If there are two of you, you could drop one person off at baggage claim, and then go park in the cell phone lot and wait for them to call you.

TPA is a very small airport, and very easy to navigate. Good luck!

Yes, Tampa has a cell phone lot.
