Empty legs, the one-way repositioning flights operators fly between charters, are what you book here, priced 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter.

Why fly private to Scottsdale
Seasonal flexibility
Scottsdale's demand is seasonal and directional, which is exactly what creates one-way empty-leg supply: flexibility on dates is rewarded with the deepest discounts.
Empty-leg economics
Because an empty leg is a flight the operator is already making between charters, Scottsdale repositioning legs typically sell 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter, and operators can set a listing's price to step down as departure approaches.
Skip the terminal
Flying private into Scottsdale means an FBO arrival: no terminal, no TSA line, and a few minutes from touchdown to your car.
What an empty leg in Scottsdale costs
Empty-leg pricing to Scottsdale 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. Because the aircraft is flying that leg regardless, the saving comes without compromising the aircraft or crew.
