What are empty leg flights?

An empty leg flight occurs when a private jet needs to travel from one location to another without any passengers on board. This typically happens when an aircraft is returning to its home base after dropping off a client, or repositioning ahead of its next charter booking.

Since the aircraft is flying regardless, JB Private Jets makes these seats available at substantially reduced rates. You enjoy the exact same level of service, luxury, and privacy as a standard private charter, the only difference is the price you pay.

Who are empty leg flights perfect for?

Empty leg flights are an ideal solution for travellers who are willing to be slightly flexible with their schedule, but refuse to compromise on comfort, exclusivity, or service.

Business travellers who move frequently between cities or countries will find empty legs a smart way to fly privately without always committing to a full charter rate. Work in complete privacy, arrive at your destination refreshed, and avoid the inefficiencies of commercial airports, all at a more accessible price point.

Leisure travellers and private individuals looking to elevate a special trip, a long weekend in the south of France, a spontaneous getaway to Ibiza, or a city break in London, will find that an empty leg flight delivers a genuinely premium experience without the premium price tag.

Travelling with pets? No problem. Unlike commercial airlines, private jets operated through JB Private Jets welcome your four-legged companions on board, without restrictions or additional complications. Simply let us know when you enquire and we will take care of the rest.
