Empty Leg Savings — How Much Can You Save?
At iFlyPlus, every journey begins with Good Fortune · Good Friends · Beautiful Life.
The savings potential of empty leg flights is one of the most compelling aspects of private aviation. With iFlyPlus's global network of 11,800+ business jets, 6,600+ premier hotels, and 5,000+ airports across 186 countries, understanding these savings can unlock extraordinary travel opportunities.
How Much Can You Save on an Empty Leg?
Empty leg flights typically offer savings of 50–80% compared to standard charter pricing. The exact amount depends on several factors:
- Route popularity: Less common routes often feature deeper savings
- Aircraft type: Light jets, midsize, and heavy jets each have different pricing tiers
- Advance notice: Last-minute empty legs may offer the most significant savings
- Seasonal demand: Peak travel seasons see fewer empty leg opportunities
Why Are the Savings So Significant?
The repositioning flight is operationally required regardless. Airlines would fly the aircraft empty either way — offering seats on these flights is purely incremental revenue recovery. This creates a rare alignment of operator incentive and traveler opportunity.
Typical Savings by Aircraft Category
| Category | Standard Charter | Empty Leg | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Jet | Full rate | 50–60% below | Substantial |
| Midsize Jet | Full rate | 60–70% below | Significant |
| Heavy Jet | Full rate | 70–80% below | Maximum |
