What Are Empty Leg Flights?

Discover how you can fly private at up to 75% off regular charter prices

An empty leg flight, also known as a deadhead flight or ferry flight, occurs when a private jet needs to fly without passengers. This happens when an aircraft is repositioning to pick up its next charter client or returning to its home base after dropping off passengers.

Rather than flying empty, operators offer these flights at significantly discounted rates to offset operational costs. This creates a win-win situation: travelers get access to luxury private aviation at affordable prices, while operators generate revenue from flights that would otherwise earn nothing.

Massive Savings

Save up to 75% compared to regular private jet charter prices. What normally costs $50,000 could be available for $12,500 or less.

Same Luxury Experience

Enjoy the exact same aircraft, service, and amenities as a full-price charter. The only difference is the price you pay.

Time Flexibility Required

Empty legs have fixed routes and schedules. You'll need to be flexible with your travel plans to take advantage of these deals.

Last-Minute Availability

Most empty legs become available 1-14 days before departure. Perfect for spontaneous travelers or those with flexible schedules.
