What Are Empty Leg Flights?
Empty legs occur when private jets need to fly without passengers—either repositioning for their next charter or returning to base. Instead of flying empty, operators offer these flights at massive discounts, sometimes up to 75% off regular charter prices.

Everything you need to know about empty leg flights
Empty leg flights are private jets flying without passengers, typically repositioning for their next charter or returning to base. These flights happen regardless, so operators offer them at steep discounts—often 50-75% off regular charter prices. You get the same luxury experience: private terminals, personalized service, and the entire aircraft to yourself, just at a fraction of the cost.
Savings vary by route, aircraft, and timing, but typically range from 50-75% off regular charter prices. For example, a flight that normally costs $15,000 might be available for $4,000-7,500 as an empty leg. The exact savings depend on factors like aircraft size, distance, and demand for that particular route.
