Default Flying to Orlando or Tampa from Buffalo?

Can anyone advise on airlines that fly from Buffalo NY to somewhere near TV? It is cheaper for Canadians to get to Buffalo and fly than to fly from Toronto. I just need to know what airlines fly out Buffalo to Orlando or Tampa or somewhere close to TV. Thanks for any input.

Delta, Jet Blue, AirTran/Southwest and US Air fly between Buffalo and Orlando. If you come into Orlando (MCO) you can schedule a pickup with The Villages Airport Van 352.241.2000. https://www.villageairportvan.com/

UsAirways

(You could check to see if Jacksonville prices are any cheaper - but it is a 2.5 hour drive from TV)

My husband's family lives near the Canadian border and must drive south to Syracus to fly. They fly into Orlando from Syracus
and back home to Northern New York using Jet Blue and they love the airlines.

Starting sept 26 you should use Allegient Airlines ..non stop to SANFORD (not orlando) fares as low as $67 one way but you pay alot of extra. This is a decent airline.

Jet Blue and Southwest offer at least one non-stop flight per day. I have flown both and had great experiences. USAirways and Delta do not, I believe, offer any non-stop flights to Orlando. Jet Blue does not charge for the first bag and Southwest allows 2 bags without a fee.

I have flown it from Newburgh, New York to Orlando without any problems. They have had issues at other airports in the past being kept on the ground for hours prior to allowing them to go to a gate, I think this has happened in the winter months. Other airlines have experienced the same problem though, good luck.

Allegiant will be flying out of Niagara Falls. Keep in mind that it will only have one flight on the days it is scheduled. It does not have daily flights, usually one or two days a week. It sometimes offers daily flights during the holidays. I have family who use it quite often to fly into Elmira, NY.

Expedia lists these flights. I hope this link works.... If you need more help, just PM me, I'll be happy to assist you guys with more specifics. I've only listed non-stops because I hate going up and down. There's more flights if you don't mind one stop.

Yes we have flown Allegient to Scranton Pa, Allentown Pa, Roanoke Va and just scheduled a flight into Lansing Mi for later this year. Sanford is very easy to get in and out of, Much shorter security lines, no tolls to and from the Villages and Parking is approx $10 per day.
