Why is it cheaper to land in Orlando? Everywhere else in Florida costs double the money. Isn't Orlando the hot spot desitination?

ggavinmoss might be right. OIA is the largest airport by far in Central Florida. I don't know of any that come near its size. Miami (which is not in CFL) might have a big airport too, never been there.

Palm Coast? Are you kidding me? Thats where I'm from. (at college now)

Jacksonville is your best bet - hour and a half's straight drive. Orlando is approx 2 hours if the traffic is right.

Edit: Ft. Lauderdale is a long, long way away.

FLL is usually cheaper than MIA
Only 45 minutes different between two locations.
Much cheaper than PBI (Palm Beach).

Most sites will be within 10-25$ of each other.

Also, you may have to dig around for fares based on date (flexability).

Some airlines also will not list with the Travel sites or you can find as good/if not better fares from the carrier's own site. And you will not have to pay the referral fee.
