Skip the terminal

Flying private into Fort Lauderdale means an FBO arrival: no terminal, no TSA line, and a few minutes from touchdown to your car.

What an empty leg in Fort Lauderdale costs

Empty-leg pricing to Fort Lauderdale runs 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter, with the steepest discounts in the 24 to 72 hours before departure, when the operator most needs to fill the repositioning flight.
