Empty Leg Flights

Most operators allow pets on private charter flights, including empty legs. Pet policies vary by operator and aircraft type — check the specific listing or contact the operator before booking. Pets typically fly in the cabin with you, not in cargo.

Yes. Empty leg flights book the entire aircraft, so the passenger list is entirely yours. The cabin capacity depends on the aircraft category — light jets seat 4–7, midsize jets 7–9, and heavy jets 10–16. Filter by passenger count in the search to see aircraft that fit your group.

No. The departure time on an empty leg is fixed by the operator's positioning schedule. Unlike an on-demand charter, you cannot move the departure window. If schedule flexibility matters more than price, a full charter is the right product.

The whole aircraft. Empty legs are sold as whole-aircraft repositioning flights — you are not buying individual seats. The aircraft and all its seats are yours for the leg, regardless of how many passengers you bring.

Prices on SkyAccess are quoted as whole-aircraft prices and include the operator's listed fees. Landing fees, handling, and catering surcharges (if applicable) are disclosed at booking. There are no membership fees or broker markups on the platform.

After booking you receive a booking confirmation and the operator's contact details. The operator reaches out to confirm passenger names, onboard preferences, and FBO meeting instructions. SkyAccess sends pre-departure reminders as the flight approaches.

SkyAccess indexes live empty leg flights from 900+ certified charter operators across 5,000+ airports, with the current count shown on the search page. Inventory turns over hourly as operators publish new positioning legs and existing legs are booked.

"Emptyleg" (one word) is a common alternate spelling of "empty leg" — a one-way private jet repositioning flight sold at a steep discount because the aircraft would otherwise fly empty to its next booking. Emptyleg flights and empty-leg flights are the same product. SkyAccess lists emptyleg and empty-leg inventory from 900+ certified charter operators across 5,000+ airports.
