What an empty leg is, and how to catch one

When a jet flies empty to collect its next client, that seat can be yours for a fraction of the price.

Why jets fly empty

A jet that drops a client in Nice often has to fly back to London for its next job. Rather than fly with no one on board, the operator sells those seats for a fraction of the charter price.

What you give up

The route and the time are fixed by the jet's next job. If the original client changes plans, the leg can move or disappear, so empty legs suit trips with a little flexibility.

Set an alert for the routes you fly and the good ones find you.
