Florida Commuters?

From a commuting perspective, how is the QOL for guys living in Florida?

I am transitioning military and looking at possibly returning to FL after finishing up my commitment. FEDEX is my number one choice like many others out there and would love to hear which cities offer the easiest commute.

Thanks in advance.

I think with the exception of the Jacksonville area and maybe Tallahassee, you will have limited options north of Orlando.

Should have been more specific, but we are interested in the Tampa area. A backup is down by Fort Meyers and a distant third would be FLL/MIA.

Thanks in advance!

Piece of cake. Really! Book the JS early and you’ll have no issues. I believe SWA does TPA-MEM as well. Lots of front/back end DHs out of Florida too.

Haven't had any issues. MD and Air bus sweep flight most nights, the sweep flight is usually wide open. SWA nonstop both ways every day, but the times vary. All good now, but not if people keep moving here

Allegiant also I believe on Sundays and Thursdays flies MEM-PIE that is also an option.

South Florida = Easy. Plenty of flights, not many commuters.

Sorry to piggyback on this thread but I didn’t want to make a whole new one just for this. Can anyone tell me how the commute from ATL is? I know there’s plenty of flights on DL and FDX but are there tons of commuters? Has anyone had any trouble commuting to and from ATL?
