I flew to Miami from NJ and used V1 almost all the way to Jacksonville.

Thanks for your input. I'd imagine that would be a very scenic flight.

However, Jacksonville is in northeast Florida and my question really
pertained to flying IFR deeper into Florida. If you'll notice on the
charts,
both north and south of Orlando you will see many restricted and
prohibited
airspaces. The most direct route from Jacksonville to Miami is peppered
with
light GA IFR-unfriendly airspace.

What are the floors and/or ceilings for said airspaces?

We've got our fair share of red/blue boxes out here in AZ but most don't
come low enough to be a hassle (I do *not* have the ability to fly above
12k...)

;O)

Many of the Florida SUAs go all the way up to 17,999, so going over them is
not really an option for me either. It looks as if I will cross over the
center of the state and then weave towards the western-central portion, as
you can see in the other link I posted.

I remember those! Two years ago I flew to Palm Springs and recall having
to weave my way around all that special airspace out there.

If you fly on the weekends, most of the military SUA is not active.
If you fly M-F, expect to be vectored/routed around the military SUA.

When I flew to KPBI from Central Ohio last April, I flew from Albany GA
to Lakeland to West Palm, unrestricted at 7,000. That was on a Saturday.
When I departed, I had filed for the same routing. I was given an
amended clearance which had me fly directly west to Naples before
turning north. The military airspace was active. This was on a Thursday
afternoon.

My plan at this point, weather and maintenance willing, is to fly down on
Thursday afternoon/evening, then return home on Saturday afternoon.
