About 874 nm, roughly 2h 26m in a midsize jet. 5 legs live on this route right now.
Every price on EmpTleg buys the entire aircraft, not a seat.
Nothing on this route today? Widen out: every empty leg across St. Louis · every empty leg across Naples & Fort Myers.
Naples & Fort Myers to St. Louis is a different flight with its own aircraft, its own days and its own price: empty legs from Naples & Fort Myers to St. Louis.
Nobody schedules an empty leg. One shows up here because an operator has an aircraft finishing a trip near St. Louis and needs it near Naples & Fort Myers, 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.
