What is specific to New York to Chicago
Say which Chicago airport
A quote that says “Chicago” without an identifier can be Midway, O’Hare, or Chicago Executive. The hours and the band on this page are Teterboro to Midway. If the operator prefers the general-aviation field at Chicago Executive, ask them to reprice it. Do not reuse this band for that trip.
Cabin and the departure window
The headline cabin is a midsize. Teterboro’s voluntary quiet hours run 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. for non-essential flights. A late departure that has to wait, or a jet that has to be ferried to Teterboro first, is the usual reason this trip prices above the headline.
