Two ways to fly private

Choose the trip that fits your schedule

EmptyJet gives you two ways to find a private flight: choose an existing empty leg when the route and timing work for you, or request an on-demand charter built around your itinerary.

Already scheduled

Empty Leg Flights

Travel on an aircraft that is already scheduled to reposition. The route and timing are largely predetermined, while the listed price is often lower than a comparable on-demand charter.

When the trip needs to fit you

Request a private jet charter with EmptyJet

When an existing empty leg does not match your route or schedule, request an on-demand private jet charter. Tell us where you want to fly, your departure date, passenger count and preferred aircraft category.

EmptyJet shares the trip request with relevant charter providers in its network. Suitable operators can confirm aircraft availability, pricing and terms for the itinerary, so you can review the available options before deciding whether to book.

The basics

What empty legs are

An empty leg is a private jet sector scheduled to fly without charter passengers. It usually exists because the aircraft must reach its next pickup point or return to base after another trip.

The jet is flying either way

For example, an aircraft may finish a charter in Nice and need to begin its next trip from Geneva two days later. If the schedule remains unchanged, the aircraft must reposition between the two cities.

The price drops, the aircraft does not

An operator may offer the repositioning sector below the price of a comparable on-demand charter to recover part of its operating cost. The discount varies by route, aircraft, timing, and demand.

The route and timing depend on the aircraft's wider schedule. If that schedule changes, the empty leg may move or be cancelled, so flexible travel plans are especially useful.

Booking sequence

How booking an empty leg works

Need a flight built around your own route and schedule? See how private jet charter works.

  1. Search a route

    Enter the cities and dates. You will see empty legs that already fit that window, including nearby airports when a private airfield is more practical.

  2. Choose a flight

    Compare the aircraft, schedule and price, then open the one you want. The listed price is a starting point, not a confirmed quote.

  3. Send your request

    Press Book, add the passenger count and passport citizenships, and send the request. Sending it starts confirmation. It does not reserve the flight.

  4. Review the confirmed offer

    EmptyJet checks availability and price with the operator. When it is confirmed, the offer is in My Bookings for you to review and pay. If that flight is unavailable, we can look for alternatives.

Pricing transparency

Understand the 0 to 10 value score

Charter prices vary by aircraft, route, timing, and season. The value score compares each listing with an estimated rate for a similar aircraft and trip, giving you a simple starting point for comparison.

How the scoring system works
  • 8–10 Strong estimated value
  • 5–7 Moderate estimated value
  • 0–4 Limited estimated savings

Before you book

Empty leg and private jet questions, answered

What is an empty leg flight?

An empty leg is a private jet sector scheduled to fly without charter passengers, usually because the aircraft must reposition after a one-way trip, reach its next pickup point, or return to base. The operator may offer that sector at a lower price to recover part of the operating cost.

What is a private jet charter?

An on-demand private jet charter is arranged around the trip you request, including your airports, departure date, passenger count and aircraft requirements. A certificated operator confirms the aircraft, availability, terms and final price.

Should I choose a private jet charter or an empty leg?

Choose a private jet charter when your route, timing or aircraft requirements need to determine the trip. An empty leg can be a better fit when your plans are flexible enough to match an aircraft that is already scheduled to reposition.

How much can you save on an empty leg flight?

Empty leg listings can be substantially lower than comparable on-demand charter prices, and current EmptyJet listings are up to 80% below an estimated charter rate. Actual savings vary by aircraft, route, timing, and final operator quote, so the comparison is indicative rather than guaranteed.

Is EmptyJet an airline or a charter operator?

No. EmptyJet is a search engine and marketplace. We aggregate empty leg and charter listings published by operators and brokers, provide price context, and help users submit booking requests. EmptyJet does not operate the aircraft; the flight provider is responsible for confirming the aircraft, crew, availability, and charter terms.

How current is the empty leg inventory?

Empty leg availability can change quickly. EmptyJet updates its listings regularly, but search results may not always reflect an operator's latest schedule in real time. Use the index to discover relevant flights, then request current confirmation of the schedule, aircraft, price, and availability before making travel plans.

Can I buy a first class ticket with a private suite?

Yes. Alongside private jets, EmptyJet lists scheduled first class tickets on airlines that offer enclosed private suites — individual cabins with a door — on select aircraft such as the Emirates A380, Singapore Airlines Suites, Japan Airlines and Starlux A350, and Air India 777. Cabin layouts and amenities vary by airline and aircraft.

How can I pay on EmptyJet?

The flight operator issues the invoice for a private jet empty leg or a private charter. EmptyJet can accept payment for it by card through Stripe, including Google Pay and Apple Pay when your device supports them, and by cryptocurrency — Bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), plus USDT and USDC on Ethereum and TRON. You may also pay the operator using the instructions on that invoice. First-class suite tickets are paid on EmptyJet by card or cryptocurrency.

Can I pay with cryptocurrency?

Yes. You can pay for a private jet with cryptocurrency on EmptyJet — an empty leg or a private charter — after the operator confirms the offer. First-class suite tickets can also be paid in cryptocurrency. Settlement is available on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON. On Bitcoin you send BTC. On Ethereum you send ETH, or Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) as ERC-20. On TRON (TRC-20) you can send USDT or USDC. Checkout shows the network, asset, and amount before you send.

What does the 0 to 10 value score mean?

The score compares a listed price with an estimated charter rate for a similar aircraft category, distance, and season. A higher score indicates stronger estimated value. It is a comparison tool, not a quote or a guarantee of savings.

Can an empty leg be cancelled or rescheduled?

Yes. An empty leg depends on the aircraft's wider schedule, so it may move or be cancelled if that schedule changes. Refunds, replacement aircraft, and other remedies depend on the provider's contract. Review those terms and consider backup plans before relying on an empty leg for time-critical travel.

Which regions does EmptyJet cover?

EmptyJet indexes flight listings across regions worldwide, including North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. The number of available empty leg and charter listings varies significantly by route and date, so search your preferred departure and destination to see the options currently listed.
