Private jet travel is often seen as the ultimate luxury — fast, private, and supremely comfortable — but also expensive. What if you could enjoy all the benefits of a private jet at a significantly lower price?
That’s where empty-leg flights come in — a hidden gem for savvy travelers who value luxury and value.
🛩️ What is an Empty-Leg Flight?
When someone books a private jet for a one-way journey, the jet usually has to return to its home base or reposition to another airport without passengers. This “empty” return trip is called an empty-leg flight (or “deadhead”).
Rather than letting the aircraft fly back empty, operators like The LuxJet Group offer these legs to other passengers at a discounted rate — sometimes up to 75% off standard charter prices.
💡 Why Book an Empty-Leg Flight?
✅ Significant Savings
Empty-leg flights can cost much less than a traditional private charter because the trip is already scheduled.
✅ Same Luxury Experience
You still enjoy the same aircraft, crew, service, and privacy — just at a lower cost.
✅ Flexibility & Spontaneity
Ideal for last-minute trips, weekend getaways, or a spontaneous luxury experience.
✅ Sustainability
By filling seats that would otherwise go unused, you help reduce the environmental impact of empty flights.
📋 What to Consider
While empty-leg flights offer incredible value, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Fixed Schedule & Route: You’re booking the specific route and time already set by the operator — less flexible than a traditional charter.
- Short Notice: These flights often become available only a few days or even hours before departure.
- One-Way Only: Since it’s tied to a repositioning trip, round trips are rare — but possible with planning.
