Chicago → Miami

About this corridor

The southbound winter favourite from the Midwest. Chicago to Miami sees heavy repositioning as travellers escape the cold, making empty legs plentiful from late fall through early spring.

Because Chicago and Miami sit on such a well-travelled lane, operators regularly need to reposition aircraft in both directions — and a repositioning flight with empty seats is exactly what becomes an empty leg. The result is a steady stream of discounted one-way flights for travellers whose dates are flexible.
