What is an Empty Leg?

 

In the private aviation industry the term "empty leg" flight refers to an empty plane on a one way flight.

After dropping off their client to their destination, the aircraft needs to fly back, without any passenger on board to its orginal destination or homebase, or possibly to another destination.

When an operator needs to fly the jet back, without a scheduled flight, they sell the return flight at a reduce fare. 

 

The Key is to Plan Ahead.

Include few alternative routes and options, and always be ready for both minor and major travel adjustments.

Flexibility is Key.

Travelers who are smart and flexible with their travel can fully benefit from an empty leg flight.

It is important to understand that booking an empty leg flight can also means you're at the mercy of the original flight.

If the first flight gets canceled or delayed you may need to make different travel arrangements.
