- What are empty leg flights from Chicago?
- Empty leg flights are one-way repositioning flights on private jets. When a charter operator flies out of Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Midway (MDW), or DuPage (DPA) to reposition an aircraft, the empty seat capacity is listed at up to 75% off the retail charter rate. SkyAccess aggregates live Chicago empty leg inventory from certified operators so you can book the same aircraft at a fraction of the cost.
- Which Chicago airports have empty leg flights?
- Most Chicago empty legs depart from O’Hare International (ORD) — the region’s busiest private terminal — Chicago Midway (MDW), and DuPage Airport (DPA). DuPage is a favourite for light and midsize jets because it avoids O’Hare’s congestion and offers faster FBO turns.
- How much do Chicago empty leg flights cost?
- Chicago empty leg flights typically range from $2,000 to $8,000 depending on aircraft category and route, compared to $10,000–$35,000 for a full on-demand charter. Same-day and sub-24-hour legs often clear at the steepest discounts — sometimes up to 75% below retail — as operators prioritise repositioning the aircraft over holding out for a higher price.
- What are the most popular Chicago empty leg routes?
- The New York–Chicago corridor (ORD/TEB or ORD/HPN) is one of the busiest domestic private jet routes in North America. Other frequent Chicago empty legs run to Miami (MIA), Las Vegas (LAS), Dallas (DAL/DFW), Los Angeles (VNY/SMO), and Aspen (ASE) during ski season.
