What are Empty Leg Flights?
Understanding Empty Leg Flights: An empty leg flight occurs when an aircraft flies from one destination to another without any passengers or cargo—crew only. But why should this matter to you? These flights present an opportunity for savvy travelers to significantly cut costs. For instance, a typical one-way flight from Van Nuys to Palm Beach might cost around $40,000. However, with an empty leg flight, you could snag the same route for as little as $25,000. The catch? You’ll need to be flexible. The aircraft type, departure time, and date are usually predetermined, as these flights are often scheduled to reposition the plane for another customer’s trip. By adjusting your schedule to fit these flights, you can enjoy substantial savings.
