You're making several mistakes here. #1 Flying into Florida. You've flown into other places in the US before an they have flagged you for the warrant but let you go because florida does not want to extradite you on that warrant. However, if you land in Florida, with a Florida arrest warrant, there is an excellent chance you will be arrested and taken into custody. Mistake #2 - Flying in on a Friday. This means there's an excellent chance you'll be locked up through the weekend.

By being arrested on arrival, you may lose the benefit of telling the court that you "surrendered voluntarily." When cops arrest fugitives for outstanding warrants, they aren't likely to believe when the person says "Oh, I was just about to surrender at the court to get that resolved."
