Adjusted flight times also create new connections for customers traveling between Fort Lauderdale and Macon, Georgia via Orlando.<\/p>\n<p>Enhanced United Codeshare Connections<\/p>\n<p>Silver Airways\u2019 codeshare partnership with United Airlines offers the ease and convenience of seamless booking, ticketing, and baggage handling on flights from West Palm Beach, connecting in Orlando, to Chicago, Houston, and Washington, DC.
