Understanding Empty Leg Flights

What Are Empty Legs?

Empty leg flights occur when a private jet needs to reposition—flying without passengers to pick up the next client or return to base. These flights are offered at significant discounts.

How Much Can You Save?

Empty leg flights typically cost 50-75% less than traditional charter rates. The exact savings depend on the route, aircraft type, and timing.

Booking Flexibility

While empty legs offer great value, they require flexibility. Routes and times are fixed, and there's a possibility of last-minute changes or cancellations.

Who Books Empty Legs?

Savvy travelers who can be flexible with their schedules, business executives, luxury travelers, and anyone looking to experience private aviation at a fraction of the cost.
