About New York → Chicago empty legs
An empty leg (also called a "dead leg" or repositioning flight) happens when a private jet flies without passengers — usually returning to base or moving to its next charter. Operators sell these New York to Chicago segments at a steep discount to avoid flying empty, which is why empty legs can cost a fraction of a standard on-demand charter.
Because empty legs depend on where aircraft already need to be, the New York–Chicago inventory changes constantly. The fastest way to secure one is to register your interest and let a broker alert you the moment a matching jet is repositioning.
