As is usually the case with flight deals, you'll likely find the cheapest price for a carrier's most restrictive fare type, which in this case is Delta's basic economy. For this specific fare type, passengers are entitled to one free full-size carry-on bag, but they will have to pay $60 for a checked bag. They'll also be in the final boarding class and subject to a random seat.
If you book this deal on JetBlue or United, note that their basic economy does not include a full-size carry-on while basic economy on American Airlines and Delta does. Expect to pay between $25 and $45 round-trip to upgrade to a higher fare class and between $30 and $35 each way to check a bag on all airlines.

Bottom line
Some routes to Palm Beach and Tampa include flight availability over popular spring break times, while the other cities include flights through February. This deal is not expected to last more than 24 hours, so book as soon as you can.
