New York City is one of the busiest travel hubs in the world with more than 65 million people visiting the city each year for business and leisure travel. With a large volume of private air charters flying to and from the city, travelers have many opportunities to take advantage of empty leg flights.

When do empty leg flights become available?

Empty leg flights become available when private jets fly to or from their point of origin without passengers. This occurs when jets are repositioned to pick up passengers for a charter route or when the jet returns to its home base after completing a one-way air charter.

For example, for a charter flight from New York to Philadelphia, the jet is parked in Chicago and needs to be repositioned to New York. An empty leg charter flight from Chicago to New York would become available at a discounted rate.

A return empty leg flight can be booked when a business jet is booked one-way. For example, if a business jet is based in New York and is chartered by a client who is traveling from New York to Chicago one way, an empty leg flight from Chicago to New York would become available.

What are the benefits of chartering empty leg flights?

Aside from cost savings, executives who travel together for business frequently charter empty leg flights as a cost-effective alternative to traveling in business class on commercial airlines. A private jet’s departure time is more flexible than a commercially operated jet and most private flights are operated as nonstop flights. Additionally, private jet cabins are designed to enhance in-flight business with club seating, fold-out tables, large displays, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Before booking an empty leg, keep in mind that there is limited availability of flights. Empty legs may not become available for booking until a few days in advance. There may also be a strict cancellation policy. Even with restrictions, empty leg private charter flights are a convenient way to enjoy the full benefits of flying private at a discount.
