How SkyAccess empty-leg listings work

SkyAccess lists live repositioning flights from certified charter operators. Each listing shows the route, aircraft type, passenger capacity, departure window, and all-in whole-aircraft price. Empty legs are usually 25–75% below full charter because the aircraft is already scheduled to reposition. Travelers can search by route, date, aircraft category, and passengers, then book directly without a membership or broker quote loop.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know about empty leg flights

What is an empty leg flight?

An empty leg flight is a one-way private jet flight sold at a discount because the aircraft has to fly without passengers to its next paid booking. Operators publish these positioning legs on marketplaces like SkyAccess at 25–75% below retail charter pricing.

How much can I save on an empty leg flight?

Typical savings are 25–75% off the equivalent retail charter rate. The deepest discounts hit inside the 72-hour window before departure, when operators aggressively reprice unsold positioning legs to recover committed costs.

Are empty leg flights safe?

Yes. Every empty leg on SkyAccess is operated under an active air carrier certificate (Part 135 in the U.S., or the equivalent authority abroad), by the same crew, on the same aircraft, with the same maintenance and safety oversight as a retail charter. The discount comes from schedule constraints, not from a different operating standard.

When is the best time to book an empty leg?

24–72 hours before departure on heavy-traffic corridors (Northeast ↔ Florida, NYC ↔ Hamptons, LA ↔ Vegas, West Coast → ski markets). Booking 14+ days out usually means leaving 15-25 percentage points of discount on the table.

Can the date or route of an empty leg change?

The schedule and routing are dictated by the originating paid booking that creates the positioning need. If the originating booking moves or cancels, the empty leg can be voided — reputable marketplaces refund the empty-leg buyer in full when this happens. For fixed-date trips, an on-demand charter is the right product instead.

Can I bring pets on an empty leg flight?

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.

Can I book an empty leg for an executive team?

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.

Can I choose my departure time on an empty leg flight?

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.

Do I book a seat or the whole aircraft on an empty leg?

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.

Are empty leg flight prices all-in? Are there hidden fees?

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.

What happens after I book an empty leg on SkyAccess?

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.

How many empty leg flights are on SkyAccess right now?

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.

What are empty leg flights?

"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.
