OP, have you looked at flying Allegient from Niagra Falls/Buffalo to St Petersburg, FL (PIE). It's just across the bay and is a smaller alternative airport to TPA. Depending on what day they actually fly the route, prices in Nov/December are as low as $80. Allegient also flies to Orlando - Stanford.
Just another thought, Sunwing also flies nonstop Toronto (YYZ) > PIE.
