New York → London

About this corridor

The flagship transatlantic run. New York to London requires a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, so the occasional empty leg here represents one of the largest single savings in private aviation.

Because New York and London 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.

• For this corridor, Heavy and Ultra Long Range jets are the most common — set your size filter accordingly.
