Empty Leg Flights vs. Regular Charter: Which Is Right for You?

Private jets offer unmatched convenience and luxury — but how you book one can make a big difference.

At SkyAccess, we specialize in helping travelers unlock empty leg flights, but we’re often asked:

“What’s the difference between an empty leg and a regular private charter?”

Here’s a clear breakdown to help you choose the right option.

What Is an Empty Leg Flight?

An empty leg flight is a pre-scheduled private jet repositioning — flying without passengers — available at up to 80% off regular prices.

These flights are ideal for flexible travelers who:

• Can adapt to fixed departure times and cities
• Want full-jet luxury at a lower price

Example SkyAccess deals:

• Los Angeles to Las Vegas from $2,900
• Miami to Bahamas from $3,000
• NYC to Aspen from $6,500

What Is a Regular Charter Flight?

A regular charter is a private jet flight you book on-demand — choosing the aircraft, timing, and route to fit your exact needs.

You pay for the full experience and flexibility, with prices ranging from $15,000 to $45,000+ depending on aircraft and distance.

This is ideal for:

• Business executives with tight schedules
• Families needing round-trip flexibility
• Travelers flying to less common airports
