Orlando has always been my choice since the airfares tend to be cheaper from the Northeast than Tampa. Traffic around Orlando has significantly grown over the past several years so try to avoid rush hour.

Flights coming in from the West prefer Tampa. From the North, Orlando. Tampa is easier to get through.

Orlando: 95 miles, 1:50 with no traffic, 68 stop lights on US 27

Tampa: 109 miles, 2:00 with no traffic, 68 stop lights on US 27

Yep, and the toll road helps.

PBI is best airport - its practically empty. And its near Palm Beach. Always nice to go to Buccan after a week eating in Sebring.

Do they allow you to eat with your mouth open in a greasy t-shirt there? Well, I'm sure they do. But do they charge extree?

I hate the 8pm-ish flight out of Orlando on Sunday nights. All the young kids and babies coming off their Disney sugar high with their parents who have had enough togetherness and are busy fighting/getting drunk on cheap airline wine.

I call it "the most unhappiest flight on earth."

Headphones + loud music + bourbon is the only way I get through it.

Almost no children at PBI, just rich old people. And no mad rush on Sunday nights as everyone is retired in Palm Beach so what's to go north for?
