Booking & Pricing FAQ

How to request a flight on EmptyJet, what a booking or charter request means, whether submitting one is free, and what happens while we confirm options.

How EmptyJet booking works

Search, comparison, and submitting a booking or charter request on EmptyJet are free. Your request appears in My Bookings as Awaiting confirmation while we check availability with operators in our network. When options are ready, the status becomes Confirmed with operator-confirmed aircraft options to review before you commit. The flight itself is operated by the charter operator under the offer or charter agreement presented to you.

Questions

Are there any fees to use EmptyJet?

Searching and comparing flights on EmptyJet is free.

  • Submitting a booking or charter request is also free.
  • Nothing is charged until you choose a confirmed option and complete the payment steps in the offer or charter agreement you accept.
What does it mean to submit a booking or charter request?

Sending a request is the first step — not a secured flight and not a payment.

  • You tell us the trip you want (route, dates, passengers, and related details).
  • We check whether the flight can be operated with operators in our network.
  • When availability is confirmed, we send you Confirmed options from those operators to review in My Bookings.

You decide what to do next. A flight is secured only after payment to the operator under the charter agreement or confirmed offer you accept.

Is submitting a charter request free?

Yes. Submitting a booking or charter request on EmptyJet is free.

  • There is no charge to ask us to check availability.
  • We review the request with operators in our network and share confirmed options when they are available.
  • You only pay if you accept an option and follow the payment instructions in that offer or charter agreement.
How far in advance can I book?

Most empty leg flights appear 1–30 days before departure, with many inside seven days.

  • Last-minute windows (24–48 hours) often show deeper discounts.
  • EmptyJet shows departure dates and times clearly so you can act quickly.
  • Empty legs can sell quickly once published.
How do I book a flight?

Who do I pay?

  • It follows the charter agreement (or confirmed offer) you accept.
  • Use only the payment terms and instructions in that agreement.
  • Do not send funds to any other account or address.
