Private Jet Empty Leg Flights

An empty leg flight is an unbooked flight that repositions a private jet to the airport from which a chartered flight starts.

It is called empty because it does not contain any paying passengers.

For example: Mr Smith books a private jet from Palma de Mallorca to London. The aircraft Mr Smith booked has to reposition from Paris to Palma de Mallorca to begin the chartered flight: this repositioning flight is an "empty leg", which is available at a significantly discounted price compared to a normal charter.

The price of empty leg flights is typically 50-80% less than a normal charter flight.

Although the aircraft may be empty when repositioning, the empty-leg customer still needs to cover additional costs such as catering, passengers taxes, and additional fuel requirements.

Empty leg flights are a fantastic way of experiencing private jet travel on a tight budget. Above you can find a full list of available private jet aircraft, sorted by departure date.

Please note: empty leg flights are only ever one-way. The return journey (or outbound journey) will need to be made by means of transport - for example, on a regular commercial flight.

Empty legs are not typically sold on a per-seat basis: the price indicated is for the entire aircraft.

We recommend making the most out of the experience by inviting friends and family to join you: that way, the price per person can be reduced significantly.

If the empty leg flight is booked with enough notice, then catering can be arranged. The necessary lead-time for arranging catering is typically 3 to 4 hours - in the case of a last-minute booking, only snacks and drinks will be provided onboard. Otherwise, empty leg flights do not differ from the usual jet experience.

An empty leg is very similar to a normal charter flight: however, it is important to notice a few subtle differences:
