Empty Leg Charters

Empty leg flights, also known as one-way or repositioning flights, occur when a private jet must travel to a specific destination to prepare for its next scheduled charter and without passengers. These flights arise from the operational need to reposition an aircraft, creating a unique opportunity for savvy travelers to access private jet travel at a fraction of the standard cost. While these flights follow predetermined routes and schedules, they deliver the same exceptional in-flight experience and personalized service. By taking advantage of empty legs with The Jet Merchants, you can enjoy savings of 25-50% compared to standard charter with some opportunities offering even greater discounts. Our expert team is available to guide you in selecting the ideal flight that aligns with your travel needs and preferences.
