WHAT IS AN EMPTY LEG FLIGHT?
An empty leg is a private charter flight flown without passengers when an aircraft needs to be repositioned to its next destination or returned to its home base after dropping off passengers. To recoup some of the costs incurred from flying an otherwise empty airplane, operators like Skyway offer these flights to the public at a highly reduced price compared to a standard private air charter.
What’s the Difference Between an Empty Leg and a Standard Charter Flight?
Empty legs and standard air charters differ primarily in pricing. Operators can offer empty legs at a discounted price because they are already scheduled and would fly empty anyway. In contrast, standard air charters are typically priced based on the customer’s specific travel needs, such as the number of passengers, the distance of the flight, and the amenities requested.
Benefits of Empty Leg Travel
- Save Money – Empty leg flights offer a remarkable benefit in terms of cost-effectiveness. As these flights are pre-scheduled to fly empty back to their base, passengers get the chance to experience private air travel at a fraction of the usual cost. This opportunity to leverage an existing route and unused capacity translates into substantial savings for travelers seeking luxury air travel without the hefty price tag.
- Last-Minute Availability – Another advantage aspect of empty leg flights is their availability on short notice. These flights often become accessible for booking closer to their departure time, making them an excellent option for individuals or groups requiring sudden or impromptu travel plans. This flexibility in booking allows travelers to seize immediate opportunities without the need for extensive planning or advanced reservations.
- Flexibility – Empty leg flights offer a unique advantage for travelers who possess flexibility in their travel schedules and destinations. Passengers willing to adjust their travel dates and be open to various destinations can tap into the immense cost savings provided by these flights. By aligning their travel plans with the available empty leg routes, travelers can enjoy luxurious private air travel at significantly reduced rates while accommodating changes in their itineraries or locations.
Limitations of Empty Leg Travel
- Limited Options – While empty legs can offer significant cost savings, they may not align perfectly with a passenger’s desired route or schedule, leading to limited availability and fewer options to choose from.
- Lack of Customization – Since empty legs are predetermined according to an aircraft’s itinerary, travelers should be flexible with their travel plans to take advantage of them.
- Schedule Changes – Empty legs can be subject to change or cancellation if the itinerary changes, so travelers should anticipate changes and be ready to adjust their travel plans accordingly.
Empty leg flights offer a unique opportunity to enjoy private air travel at a lower cost, and the flexibility they provide can be incredibly advantageous. Contact Skyway Aviation today to learn more about our empty leg flights and how we can help you save money on your travels!
