Los Angeles is a popular destination for empty leg charter flights. The center of the film and television industry, the city attracts more than 50 million visitors each year. Travelers flying from Miami to Los Angeles can enjoy the perks of private jet travel at a significantly lower cost by taking advantage of empty leg flights.
When do empty leg flights become available for charter?
Empty legs become available when private jets operate flying to or from their point of origin without passengers.
When a private jet is chartered, it may need to be repositioned to the departure airport. For example, for a private charter flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco, the jet is parked in Miami and needs to be repositioned to Los Angeles. The flight from Miami to Los Angeles would become available as an empty leg.
An empty leg flight also becomes available when a flight is chartered one-way. If the jet is based in Miami and flies from Miami to Los Angeles, the aircraft will need to return to its base in Miami. The flight from Los Angeles to Miami would become available to the public as an empty leg.
Travelers should be aware that there is limited availability of empty leg flights. Flights are typically available only a few days in advance. There may also be a strict cancellation policy. Even with restrictions, empty leg private charter flights are a great option for private jet travelers who enjoy the experience of flying private compared with the hassles associated with flying on commercial airlines.
