Flying private to The Hamptons
The Hamptons run on a summer rhythm, and so does the empty-leg market here. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, jets and turboprops shuttle the New York crowd east on Friday and back west on Sunday — which means the reverse legs (east on Sunday, west on Friday) reposition empty. Those counter-flow legs are the deals you book on this page, on the shortest, most-trafficked private corridor in the Northeast.
East Hampton (KHTO) is the destination field, but it operates under town noise rules and seasonal restrictions, and its runway favors lighter aircraft. Many flyers also use Francis S. Gabreski (KFOK) in Westhampton or Long Island MacArthur (KISP) as alternates. SkyAccess searches a 60-mile radius around East Hampton so a single Hamptons search surfaces empty legs across all the East End fields.
The trip itself is tiny — roughly 30 minutes wheels-up from Teterboro or Westchester — so the value here isn't distance, it's the weekend time you save versus a three-plus-hour summer drive on the Long Island Expressway. Empty-leg pricing turns that time savings into a fraction of a round-trip charter.
Why fly private to The Hamptons
Beat the LIE
The summer drive from Manhattan to East Hampton can stretch past three hours each way. The flight is about 30 minutes — and an empty leg makes that time savings affordable rather than extravagant.
Friday-out, Sunday-back creates supply
The weekend commute is directional, so aircraft constantly reposition against the flow. That predictable counter-flow is why Hamptons empty legs are so reliable through the season.
Land minutes from the beach
East Hampton and Westhampton put you a short drive from Southampton, Sag Harbor, and Montauk — no terminal, no traffic at the airport, straight to the house.

When is the best time to book an empty leg to The Hamptons?+
The Hamptons are almost entirely a summer destination: the window runs Memorial Day to Labor Day, with the heaviest traffic on July 4th weekend and the August stretch. Empty-leg supply is concentrated in those months and thins sharply after Labor Day. Within the season, the best deals are the counter-commute legs — eastbound on Sundays, westbound on Fridays. For the deepest discount within the season, search inside the 24–72 hour window before departure — that's when operators most need to fill a repositioning leg.
