When is the best time to find an empty leg to New York?
New York empty legs run on the Teterboro to Florida corridor from November to April, when one-way demand south is at its peak.
Teterboro (KTEB) is about 16 km from the centre of Manhattan in a straight line and handles nothing but business aviation; its 2,133 m runway takes everything up to heavy jets with weight limits on the largest. Westchester County (KHPN) serves the northern suburbs and JFK handles the largest aircraft and international arrivals.
Miami, Palm Beach and the rest of South Florida produce most of the traffic between November and April, with Thanksgiving, Christmas and Art Basel in December the peaks. Aspen and the Colorado ski airports add a winter corridor westwards, and Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard a summer one to the east. Transatlantic positioning flights to London, Paris and Geneva appear on ultra-long-range jets.
Prices are quoted in US dollars. Midsize and super-midsize jets are typical on the Florida run; the sheer volume means empty legs appear every day of the week in season.
