Empty Leg Flights

An empty leg happens when a private jet has to reposition without passengers on board. You get access to that flight, with the same aircraft, crew, and FBO you'd have on a full private charter.

Quick answers

Common Questions

Is it the same aircraft as a regular charter?

Yes. The aircraft, the crew, and the safety standards are identical to any other charter we arrange. What changes is the commercial side, since you're booking a flight the operator already had scheduled for repositioning.

What if the original charter is cancelled?

If the original charter that created the empty leg changes or falls through, the flight is cancelled too. We let you know right away and start looking at alternatives, and any cancellation initiated by the operator comes with a full refund.

Can I bring my pet?

Yes. Your pet travels in the cabin with you rather than in cargo, and a crate is only used if you'd rather have one. Just mention it when you submit your request so we can confirm the details.

How quickly do you respond?

During operating hours, an advisor typically responds within minutes. For anything urgent outside that window, we're reachable 24/7, and contact details are shared once you submit your request.

Is catering available?

Yes, as long as there's enough lead time to arrange it. Options range from a simple selection of drinks and snacks to a full meal prepared by caterers who specialize in private aviation. Just tell us what you'd prefer.

What if there's no match for my route?

We'll register your route and reach out as soon as a matching empty leg shows up. If your schedule can't wait for that, we can also quote a standard full charter in the meantime.
