Empty Leg Flights USA Routes
Empty leg flights are one-way private jet repositioning segments — the legs an aircraft flies without passengers to return to base or reach its next pickup. On the busiest US corridors these come up constantly, and because the operator has already covered part of the cost, they can be booked for up to 75% less than a standard charter. Below are the most-requested USA routes, plus how to grab one even if your exact city pair is not listed today.

How to book a USA empty leg
Empty legs are time-sensitive and flexibility is everything. The same aircraft and route can swing in price depending on the day, the direction of the repositioning, and how close to departure you book. To get the best result: stay flexible on date and nearby airports, submit a standing request so dispatch can alert you the moment a matching leg lists, and confirm quickly once a deal appears. Compare category price ranges first with our live calculator, then send your itinerary through the booking request.
