If what seahawker01 says is true, I don't mind getting a flight out early at PBI/FLL with Sprit, Airtran, Delta, United or Jetblue to NYC, and then taking another commute to MSP or DTW if absolutely necessary. Are flights to MSP/DTW as difficult to get to from NYC as it is from S.Florida?

Has anyone experienced that the commute out of RSW or TPA been any easier to NYC/MSP/DTW than from South FL?
