Empty Leg Flight

An empty leg flight refers to a private jet or aircraft that is flying without passengers, usually on the return leg of a trip after dropping off passengers or repositioning for another flight. These flights are available for booking at a significantly reduced price compared to regular private jet charter services, as they are typically "empty" and would be flown regardless of whether someone books them or not.

Here are some key points about empty leg flights:

• Discounted Rates: Since empty leg flights are often offered at a reduced price, they can be an affordable way to travel on a private jet. Discounts can sometimes be up to 75% off regular charter prices.
• Limited Availability: Empty leg flights are one-way and are available only for specific routes and times, which means they may not always align with your travel needs.
• One-Way Flights: These flights are one-way and typically cannot be customized in terms of departure time or destination unless the operator offers flexibility.
• Booking Process: Because empty leg flights are subject to availability, they are typically booked closer to the flight date. Charter companies, brokers, and online platforms specializing in private jet services often list these empty leg flights.
• Conditions: You may have less flexibility in terms of timing, and there could be last-minute changes to the flight schedule due to changes in the original trip or if the empty leg is canceled.
