An empty leg is an empty airplane, on the return flight or outbound of an already–booked trip. When an operator has booked the aircraft to fly only one way, they need to bring that aircraft back to its original location or home base. Aircraft operators offer these empty legs for a reduced price. Great deals can be found due to the empty seats, in particular for travelers who have open schedules and are willing to fly on short notice, therefore taking the risk of jumping on a flight last minute for the right price. We do not recommend this for individuals who need to be somewhere at a specific date or time.

There is many great advantages of flying on an empty leg private jet charter. While waiting for an empty leg match-up can be a risky decision, it’s not entirely impossible. Often times, your requested flight may match with the direction of the empty aircraft.
