What Is an Empty Leg Flight? | Advent Jets

What Is an Empty Leg Flight?

An empty leg flight occurs when a private jet is already scheduled to fly without passengers — typically because it needs to reposition after dropping off passengers or to get into position for its next charter.

For example, if a jet flies from Los Angeles to Miami with a booked charter but has no passengers for the return trip, that return flight will be an empty leg. Rather than fly empty, operators can offer that flight at a discounted rate to other travelers.

Why Empty Leg Flights Offer Value

Empty leg flights provide an opportunity to experience private jet travel at a significantly reduced cost, often at a fraction of the price of a standard charter. Because the aircraft is already scheduled to fly that route, operators can pass along savings to travelers willing to be flexible with their schedules.

Here’s what you can expect:

Cost Savings: Because operators are repositioning the jet anyway, empty-leg pricing can be 50–75% lower than a typical charter, depending on route, aircraft type, and timing.

Luxury Experience: You still enjoy all the benefits of private aviation: spacious cabins, privacy, fast check-in, and a tailored travel experience, only at a more affordable rate.

One-Way Flights: Empty legs are almost always one-way,y so if you need a return flight, that would be a separate charter or another empty-leg option.

Flexibility Required: Because empty legs are created by existing flight needs, departure times and locations are fixed. Travelers who can adapt their plans have the best opportunity to take advantage of these flights
