Lowest one-way main cabin from PBI is $168.60 on both routes, while they are $178.60 and $177.60 from FLL, respectively. There is, however, a $118.60 main cabin fare currently on FLL-LAX non-stop that beats PBI-LAX lowest fares.
Published fares may be the same but the PBI flights will sell out of them sooner given lower capacity (fewer flights an ld often smaller aircraft).

Well unfortunately Google flights isn’t good for this, it almost always forces you back to the same airport, unless sometimes if you do multi-city. Major pet peeve of mine as I can fly to/from any NYC airport.
