Private jets often return to their base or reposition to another location without passengers after completing a chartered flight. These repositioning flights, sometimes referred to as ferry flights, offer discounted travel opportunities for individuals and groups willing to adapt to a predetermined schedule and route originating in or around Chicago. For example, if a private jet flies a client from Chicago to Los Angeles, the return flight to Chicago, or onward flight to another city, would be considered available. This creates a unique market dynamic where considerable savings on private air travel can be realized.
The availability of these discounted private flights allows a wider range of travelers to experience the convenience and luxury of private aviation. Historically, private jet travel was exclusively accessible to a select few. This newer model provides significant cost reductions compared to traditional chartering and offers increased flexibility compared to commercial airlines. Accessing these flights often necessitates working with specialized brokers or platforms that aggregate and provide real-time information about available routes and pricing.
