LAST-MINUTE TRAVEL
PRIVATE JET EMPTY-LEG FLIGHTS
Save up to 75%
Whenever a private aircraft is contracted for a one-way trip, it creates an “empty leg” for the return journey, since the aircraft must return without passengers to its original destination. Because of this, booking these “empty leg” flights could save up to 75% on the cost of a normally booked private jet charter.
