Southwest is just starting up service from Philly.

If you're really interested in a cheap flight to Buffalo, forget
JFK/JetBlue.  Drive south to BWI, where Southwest has a huge hub, and
daily flights to Buffalo.  BWI is just south of Baltimore, less than 2
hours from CC PHL.  I don't know how long the flight is, but Southwest's
cattle cars can get you there for less than $200 R/T.  Possibly much
less depending on how you book.
