Belmar/Farmingdale to New York is a different flight with its own aircraft, its own days and its own price: empty legs from Belmar/Farmingdale to New York.
Nobody schedules an empty leg. One shows up here because an operator has an aircraft finishing a trip near New York and needs it near Belmar/Farmingdale — or needs it home, and this direction happens to be the way home. That is why the flight can be a fraction of a full charter, why it can vanish within hours, and why the return direction is a different flight entirely with its own price and its own aircraft. Watching the route beats searching it once.
