    Empty Legs Resource Guide

    Understanding Private Jet Empty Legs Flights

    The advantages, disadvantages terms and pricing of empty legs.  While the convenience and flying experience are similar, the pricing and limitations are not.  How to set your expectations.

    New Flight Private Jet Charter Empty Legs

    “What is an Empty Leg?”

    Empty legs are created when an aircraft itself needs to fly for a variety of reasons such as to pick up its owner, return to base after a charter flight, or even flying to or from a factory service appointment.  This need to move the aircraft can result in low one-way flight pricing, and can be the absolute best values in private flying.

    “What is a Deadhead Flight?”

    Deadhead is a term synonymous with Empty Leg, in which the aircraft is flying empty, without passengers.  Instead of a “live” flight leg, it is a “dead” flight leg.

    “What is a One-Way Flight?”

    One-ways are using an aircraft in a certain route or direction of flight where the plane does not need to return to base.  The aircraft picks up a succession of paying passengers from flight to flight that are linked by landing and then departing in the same general region. One-ways are a great value since the aircraft does not need to return to a base, and no daily minimums apply.  Empty Legs are an example of a one-way flight.  

    Taking Advantage of Empty Legs

    The most common misperception is that empty legs are available between only those cities or airports listed.   However, a charter can be flown anywhere along that very general route and direction.  For example with an empty leg listed from Scottsdale, AZ to Philadelphia, PA, the aircraft can fly a charter from Los Angeles to New York at a discounted one-way price.

    Empty legs and one-way charters may have special cancellation terms because of their price advantage and their need to arrive at the other end.  The aircraft may have a charter booked after the current one-way, which is dependent on it being in that vicinity. Generally speaking floating fleet aircraft have a standard cancellation policy and true empty leg charters are non-cancelable upon booking.

    Jet Charter Pricing Q & A:
    Q: Can I get a private jet charter flight for under $10,000?

    A: It’s very rare. If a flight of 1-hour or less matches up with a light jet empty leg, it may be under $10,000 total.  Executive turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air series will typically be under $10,000 for a 1-hour flight or same-day round trip in many parts of the country.  See example costs above.

    Q: What about the articles I see about empty legs for dirt cheap, same as airline fares, or even 1/2 price?

    A: There is a market for all flights, and a well-fitting empty leg will typically be around 75% of standard pricing. Keep in mind, Empty Legs are a convenient marketing angle to attract interest.  Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true…

    Q: How far in advance is best for quotes and booking? The earlier the better?

    A: Not usually. Different from the airlines, the best jet charter quotes and availability are less than 2 months in advance, often less than 1 month. Typically specific aircraft availability and pricing are not set further in advance.

    Q: When is the best time to find an empty leg?

    A: Most jet charters book less than 2 weeks in advance, so that is when the most empty legs become available in aircraft schedules.

    Q: I hear about floating fleets with one-way pricing, what is that?

    A: The biggest trend in jet charter the past decade is specific fleets that string one-way flights together in their schedules, reducing the positioning costs of traditional charters, thus allowing for reduced ‘one-way’ pricing. These are often the best cost options for one-way flights of 2 hours or more. These are the same fleets most jet cards and memberships use to minimize their costs below the rates their customers are paying.

    Q: Are there exceptions? If a jet is flying empty anyway, won’t they take me for cheap for at least some income?

    A: There is a market for flights in the charter industry, so each flight has a market value even up to hours before. Also, flying under charter’s FAA Part-135 regulations is more restrictive, expensive and consuming than flying empty repositioning under Part-91.

    Q: The airline tickets for this trip are so expensive, if 6 of us chartered our own jet could it be similar or not much more?

    A: See the above actual average costs

    Q: Are the above example charter costs your set rates or guaranteed?

    A: No, but they are typical and what we would expect as every-day best in the charter market. For a specific date and itinerary quotes may be a little lower or a bit higher, however we would expect in most cases to be in this range. We do have the widest availability and guaranteed best price industry-wide.

    Q: How can I get a quick real estimate of what a flight might cost, for our decision-making?

    A: Jet charter has so many variables, get helpful easy answers from a friendly expert at 888-701-3843 (no sales pitches, guilt or commitment).
