Everything about empty leg flights.
An empty leg (also called "deadhead" or "ferry flight") occurs when a private jet is chartered one-way and must return to its home base or reposition for the next booking. These flights are sold at 40-70% off the standard charter price. Same jet, same luxury, same crew — just a better price.
Empty leg flights typically save 40-70% compared to standard one-way charter rates. Prices vary by route, aircraft type, and timing. Example: a New York to Miami empty leg might cost $8,000 instead of $25,000.
Absolutely. Empty leg flights use the exact same aircraft, crew, and operators as full-price charters. All operators are fully certified. The only difference is the price.
It depends on the aircraft. Light jets seat 4-7, midsize jets seat 7-9, and heavy jets seat 12-18. The number of available seats is shown on each deal card.
Yes. Luggage capacity varies by aircraft — typically 4-8 suitcases for light jets, 8-14 for midsize, and 15+ for heavy jets. Contact us for specific requirements.
Most operators allow pets on board. Please mention your pet when inquiring so we can confirm with the specific operator.

Empty legs have fixed departure dates, times, and routes. They cannot be customized. If you need flexibility, we recommend a standard charter. However, you CAN customize your in-flight catering and ground transportation.
Cancellation policies vary by operator and are clearly stated before booking. Most empty leg deals are non-refundable due to the deep discount. We recommend confirming all details before booking.
Rarely. Empty legs are inherently one-way repositioning flights. You might find two separate empty legs that form a round trip, but this is uncommon. For guaranteed round trips, consider a standard charter.
