Essential Information About Empty Leg Flights

By Mark Gibson


Empty legs are private jet flights that are scheduled to fly back to their home base or next destination for their next charter without passengers. These are inefficient for aircraft carriers because they are not making any profit out of these journeys. That is why they are offering these trips at a discounted price for some extra money to be made by them.

It is a good way of experiencing flying in a private jet in a much cheaper price than what it would originally cost you. Though empty leg flights are still more expensive than airline flights, you have the convenience of getting on board directly after showing up just a few minutes before the schedule. You would also be served the same way a regular customer would be with champagne, snacks and drinks.

These are one way flight and will depend on its original booking and are subject to whatever changes the original customer would make. They own the flight and you would have to become flexible as an empty leg customer and adjust your plans accordingly. Late changes are possible so you must be ready for any adjustments to your plans.

Some choices with the time of departure are possible when you are flying towards the airport which the original customer is waiting. You can have a choice when to fly when the repositioning is during the day before of the morning when they would be using it. These are advantageous due to the less likelihood of changes going to happen.

If your flight though is after the one original then changes are more likely to happen by the customer that booked it. When they decided to delay for some hours their travel then your travel will be moved for some hours also and might be even on the following day. And when they decide to cancel then the one you have would be canceled and full refund will be given.

Their availability are dependent on the time of year and the location and not all destinations are accessible. Europe have more of them between May and September though these are usually for leisure and going to popular holiday destinations. So going to cities or business destinations are harder during these times.

This not the same with the USA where the number of private flights are more even all across the year. Los Angeles, CA is one of the most popular destinations for those who are riding in this kind of transportation. USA has also the most airports for these and this kind of transportation is more popular here than in Europe.

Booking for a return journey is possible although it is harder to find one that would fit with your destination and schedule. An empty leg flight is one way so you have to arrange a different way to travel back home. You can do this by combining it with an airline flight for the return trip so have this booked beforehand as well.

Famous people own these planes but you will not be told who it is. Try this whenever possible to have a great experience. But if your departure time must be fixed then this is not recommended.
