How empty legs from SJC to VNY work
An empty leg from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport to Van Nuys Airport is a repositioning flight. A jet that finished a job at SJC has to get to VNY for its next one, or back to base, and the operator would rather sell the flight than fly the cabin empty. The price is for the whole aircraft, not per seat, and it is a fraction of a normal charter for the same aircraft and crew.
The date is set by the aircraft's schedule, not yours, and it can move or be withdrawn when the operator's plans change.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 with a date and no time means the departure is not fixed yet; you settle it with the operator when you request.
You request a leg, we confirm one final price with the operator before you agree to anything, and you pay once, to the operator or to UpLeg; your quote says which. There is no membership, no deposit to ask and no card on file. Fixed dates or a round trip are a charter: ask for a quote and we come back with one total for the whole aircraft.
