How empty legs in New York work
An empty leg is a repositioning flight. A jet that dropped its passengers in New York has to fly back to base, or fly out to its next job, 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, 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 Legs appear anywhere from weeks to a day ahead and can be withdrawn when the operator's plans change.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 one final total with the operator before you agree to anything, and you pay once, to the operator or to UpLeg as your quote says. 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.
