Best Airline and class from NY/Nj to Orlando

Going back to Disney next year, usually we drive but I want to get my 5/9 year old girls flying while they are young so they don't get a fear of it, anyways I really ever fly and when I do I try only to fly JB Mint, which doesn't have service to Orlando, or at least what I see, what would you East Coast dudes and gals recommend? I can fly from JFK, Newark or Philly, doesn't make a terrible difference to me travel wise

I typically fly Jet Blue when traveling to or from New York. I try to fly Virgin whenever I go to the west coast.

I’m going PHL to MCO in a couple weeks. Flying American
I grew up in north Jersey and always used EWR, I never had an issue and always knew my way around.
Philly is real easy too... always get lost in parking garage for some reason though, now I just use Uber

I sometimes use EWR from Houston if the price/time is right headed to New York. I would use whatever airline offers the cheapest nonstop at the best time. I could care less about “class” on a three hour domestic flight. I regularly use Delta, Southwest, and United if I’m wanting a beating along the way.

Newark is the worst. Pretty far, lots of delays and a bunch of tolls on the way into Manhattan. lagurdia is the best imo. JFK is okay, but a long drive from Manhattan. If you live in Manhattan, I would definitely go with Laguardia.

Flying domestic doesn’t really matter, AA, Delta or United will do.

Delta is the best I've flown, but for me and where I live it's just more convenient to fly out of Newark on United. UA isn't bad, but Delta is a cut above. Honestly, for a short flight like NJ-FL, the differences are not a big deal.

Yeah, if you are on United that seems to be the default for MCO. Fairly good times and lots of options. But its EWR so typically more expensive to get to as compared to LGA (unless you take the train).

Jetblue from Westchester airport is the way I fly to Orlando. Great airport. Rarely are there lines at TSA.

We use Jet Blue from Westchester mostly or else Delta from LGA when flying to Florida. I do not like Newark at all...

I've flown most US carriers domestically. AA, Delta, Jet Blue, Continental (when it still was around), South West, North West (When it was still around), United... In coach I don't think there's much of a difference.

We almost never fly Business/first on short trips, just not worth it when you pay out of your own pocket, IMHO.

Most of the above ones where fairly similar except South West who asked the isle sitting passengers to "row this Indian canoe faster and faster for takeoff"... I've never witnessed anything so bizarre onboard an airplane before. And people actually did it!
