An empty leg flight is one of the relatively cheaper private jet charter prices. An empty leg flight is created when a private jet operator commits to a charter flight which departs from an airport other than their current location, or ends at an airport other than where their next confirmed flight originates from. This creates a need to fly from a location to a specific destination. The cost of this flight are usually factored in to the underlying charter which means the operator has a lot of negotiating room to give you an amazing price on this one-way. In fact, empty leg flights can reduce the cost of the journey by approximately 75% and are ideal for people who have a flexible schedule and can depart on short notice. Please note that if the underlying charter is cancelled, this could also affect the empty leg.
