EMPTY LEGS
The elusive Empty Leg. What is it?
Finding a plane in a must-move situation that matches a client's charter need. Operators will slash pricing on a must-move aircraft in order to avoid flying empty. The biggest challenge with finding empty legs: Clients new to private jet charter are disappointed to learn that this Empty Leg discounting doesn't happen until less than 24 hours before departure time, if at all. Operators will hold firm on their retail pricing as long as possible. They will also scan for higher revenue producing charter trips along their intended flight route before allowing a plane to be deeply discounted.

Why don't we post Empty Leg deals?
Empty Leg availability changes by the hour. We've also found that many dishonest operators will post Empty Legs when in reality there is no discounted flight available. In these cases Operators are simply attempting to generate business only to deliver full retail charter quote which wastes our time and aggravates the charter client.
We have access to the same Empty Leg listings that everyone else does. If you'd like to check for an empty leg from your city please send an email request!
