How empty legs from New York to Chicago work

An empty leg from New York to Chicago is a repositioning flight. A jet that finished a job in New York has to get to Chicago for its next one, or back to base, and the operator would rather sell the seats than fly the cabin empty. That is why the price is a fraction of a normal charter for the same aircraft, same crew, same operator.

The date is set by the aircraft's schedule, not yours, and it can move or be withdrawn when the operator's plans change. A listing that shows a date with no time means the departure is not fixed yet; you settle it with the operator when you request. Legs appear anywhere from weeks to a day ahead.

UpLeg lists these legs free of charge. You request one, we confirm availability and price with the operator, and you pay the operator directly. There is no markup, no membership and no card on file.
