Essential Information About Empty Leg Flights

By Mark Gibson


Empty legs are those private jet flights which are scheduled in flying back home toward the home base or towards the destination where their next charter would start without passengers. Aircraft carriers realized these are inefficient because these journeys do not make any profit. This is why these trips are priced with a discount for earning extra money.

You could experience flying in the private jet with a price that is much cheaper than what the original cost would be. But empty leg flights still are more expensive when compared to airline ones although the convenience is there of showing up few minutes before your schedule and directly get on board after. You would be served also the same way that a regular customer will be with snacks, drinks and champagne.

These flights are one way and would be dependent on the original booking and subject to the changes made by the original customer. They own this flight and you as the empty leg customer will have to be flexible and fit around these adjustments. If late changes are made then you must adjust to these and be ready for your plans to change.

It is possible to have some choices regarding departure time specially when your flight is going to the airport where the original customer will ride. If they would use it on the morning, the repositioning usually happens the day before so you can choose to fly in the afternoon or evening. So take advantage of these as they are the ones that are less likely to change.

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.

Seasons and locations affect their availability including the destinations available for travel. May to September are the months which has more because of those traveling towards popular holiday destinations for leisure. So going to business destinations or cities is difficult during these seasons in Europe.

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 a return journey could be possible though finding one that will with the schedule and destination you have is harder. The empty leg flight is one way and a travel arrangement for going back home must be prepared differently. This is usually done by combining an airline flight with your itinerary.

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.
