Empty leg flights from Vancouver to Seattle cover roughly 122 miles (196 km) — a short hop flown southbound in about 40m nonstop by private jet.

Vancouver blends Pacific-Northwest business travel with gateway access to Whistler's ski resorts. Demand mixes corporate flying with a winter ski overlay. Seattle's private demand is led by tech and aerospace, flowing largely through Boeing Field. California business runs and summer Pacific-Northwest leisure shape the calendar.
Most Vancouver–Seattle private traffic moves through dedicated business-aviation airports rather than the crowded commercial terminals. On the Vancouver end that means Vancouver International (YVR); arrivals into Seattle favor Boeing Field/King County International (BFI) and Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA). Flying these FBO-served fields means curb-to-cabin in minutes and no main-terminal queues on either side.
At 122 miles this is squarely light jets territory — aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ3+ have the range and cabin to fly it comfortably nonstop, which is why they make up most of the empty-leg supply on the route. Demand peaks around the winter Whistler ski season and the summer out of Vancouver and the summer season and the fall tech-business calendar into Seattle, when repositioning flights — and therefore empty legs — are most frequent.
