Empty Leg Flights

Empty leg charter space becomes available when an existing customer charters a private jet flight one-way. When you book an Empty Leg charter, you are able to avail the benefits of flying via private charter without having to pay the usual price for those benefits. It’s important to note, though, that you also give up some of the convenience and relative predictability that comes with chartering your own flight.

Empty leg seats can often be a cost-effective way to book private jet travel – often cheaper than regular private charter fare. Because of the volume of single private chartered flights being taken, there are typically many empty legs available at any given time, from airports all around the globe. However, due to the nature of Empty Leg charters, you need to either be flexible with your arrangements or manage to find a one-way flight that meets all your travel needs.

This mode of travel might not suit some passengers for whom reliability and precise timings are of huge importance when booking a private charter flight. The exact timings of your empty leg flight are based on the original passenger’s flight requirements; so if the original flight is cancelled, the Empty Leg will not be available anymore. Therefore, a degree of flexibility is essential when booking such a flight. You will also need to ensure that your return journey is covered independently as this will only be a one-way flight.

If you are looking for all the benefits that come with private charter, at a price that is not too far away from a regular scheduled flight cost, then empty leg flights could very well work for you. However, you may need to be flexible in terms of departure date and/or destination.
