How empty legs from Chicago work
An empty leg is a repositioning flight. A jet that dropped its passengers in Chicago has to fly back to base, or fly out to its next job, 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 route and the date are set by the aircraft's schedule, not yours. A listing that shows a date with no time means the operator has not fixed the departure yet; you settle it with them when you request. Legs appear anywhere from weeks to a day ahead and can be withdrawn when the operator's plans change.
UpLeg lists these legs free of charge. You request one, we confirm your exact total with the operator before you sign, and you pay the operator directly. There is no membership and no card on file.
