@skyaccess0: Why do some private jet flights cost less than you’d expect? There’s a thing called an “empty leg flight.” A private jet drops someone off, then needs to fly somewhere else, to pick up its next passengers or return to base. That flight would otherwise have nobody onboard. So instead of flying empty, the whole jet is offered at a lower price. Sometimes 50-70% below the usual private jet charter rate. You’re booking the entire aircraft. Split that cost with enough friends, and on some flights, it can work out to around $300 per person. The catch is that you don’t choose where or when it goes. You’re fitting your plans around a flight that already needs to happen. And if the original trip changes, your flight can change or disappear too. That’s why empty legs can be great for a spontaneous trip, and tricky for somewhere you absolutely need to be. You can browse these flights on SkyAccess. The interesting part is how much flexibility can change the price of flying private.
