Basic Details Regarding Empty Leg Flights

By Pamela West


Private jets are usually used by businessmen, celebrities or officials for traveling into other places to avoid the hassle of commercial flights. They prefer the privacy provided by this option and flexibility of the time when they could board the plane. It helps them maximize their busy schedules and not worry about being late on their next appointment due to long lines at the airport.

They could own one and have others rent it when not being used by them or be one of those that just rent whenever they needed them. Their travels are one way usually so agencies that handles private jets sometimes offer empty leg flights to others. These are flights to pick up a different passenger or to return in their home base if no other schedule was booked.

Empty legs are being offered at discounted price due to operators being unable to acquire a customer which pays full price on their return trip within the same day and time. It prevents the airplane from flying empty, instead it could make more money. Individuals wanting to experience a private jet ride should grab this great opportunity if the destination is the same with yours.

Their cost is discounted usually until 75 percent of its normal charter price and that depends on the route and operator. Enough flexibility is there in giving low prices though so they could fill the empty trips buy your schedule should also be flexible. This can be combined with airline ones if you could not find a similar mode for returning home.

Using this service though may need you to be ready for sudden changes in the flight schedules because they depend on the original customer. If that person decides to ride the plane later or earlier than planned then their arrival at your location also changes. This delay may be for hours or even a whole day so be prepared on this.

There is a chance also of it getting canceled by the customer that pays the full price which makes yours getting canceled as well. Have a second plan ready in case something like this happens and your trip will continue still despite this. Keep calm if ever you experience something like this because flying in a private jet with a lower price usually have this problem.

No matter how many passengers are riding as long as it does not exceed the capacity, the price will stay the same. Ride together with more people if possible so the cost will be divided among more individuals. Doing this makes your experience more enjoyable by having more companions and will lessen your expenses as well.

Ensure you are safe by researching the aircraft, their crew and operator. Learn their safety ratings based on those who checks and provides the information on this. Check how skilled or experienced the pilot of that aircraft.

Determine if the company is acting as a middleman and not the operator themselves. This will help you identify who to approach when something wrong happens. You can avoid having them tell you to approach the other one instead of themselves.
