Empty Leg Flights
An empty leg is a private jet flying without passengers between two charters. Operators sell these seats at 30-70% below their normal charter rate to cover the operating cost. If you are flexible on date and route, empty legs are the most cost-effective way to fly private.
Why empty legs are different
30-70% below standard charter
Empty legs are priced to cover operator cost, not full market rate. Same aircraft, fraction of the price.
Same aircraft, same crew
No compromise on aircraft type or service. You get the same jet that flew the previous full-fare charter.
Often last-minute
Empty legs typically appear 24 hours to two weeks before departure. They get listed when the operator confirms the schedule.
Best for flexible travelers
If you can shift your travel date by a day or two, your chance of finding an empty leg matching your route increases dramatically.
What you give up
Empty legs trade flexibility for price. Here is what you accept.
Fixed route
You take the route the operator is flying. Slight detours are sometimes possible but cost extra.
Fixed departure time
Departure slot is set by the operator. You cannot delay by hours unless you upgrade to a full charter.
No date changes
Once you book, the date and slot are locked. Cancellations are usually non-refundable.
Short booking window
Most empty legs are sold within hours of being listed. You need to be ready to confirm fast.
