I don’t think many people would opt to use Delta to get from ORH to Fort Lauderdale or Orlando. For starters, the flights arrive to Florida way too late. Also, once you arrive at LaGuardia you’re looking at 2 and 3 hour layovers. At that point you’re just better going out of TF Green.
I just booked two trips to West Palm Beach out of TF Green. Flying on Delta out of ORH gives me a 3 hour layover at LaGuardia and the connecting flight doesn’t get into West Palm Beach until after 10pm. The total cost of the two trips combined out of TF Green was about the same as the cost as one trip out of ORH would have been. Parking at TF Green is $60 for 5 days if you pre-pay.
The 1 hour drive to TF Green is not a huge deal either as I’d rather drive an hour than sit at LaGuardia for 3 hours. The flights out of TF Green also get in much earlier in the day as opposed to the ORH/LaGuardia flight that gets in late at night.
