Here\u2019s a look at our most frequently asked questions around empty leg charter flights.<\/p>\n<h3>How much cheaper are empty leg flights?<\/h3>\n<p>Booking an empty leg flight with Stratos could save you up to 75 percent off the cost of a conventional private jet charter. That means that if you were to hop on an empty leg flight in a light jet that\u2019s heading from Miami to Atlanta, for example, you could potentially pay $5,500 plus taxes and fees instead of the original price of $12,000.<\/p>\n<h3>What are empty leg flights?<\/h3>\n<p>Empty leg flights occur when an aircraft needs to reposition to a different location and there aren\u2019t any paying passengers on board. This might happen if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Someone chartered an aircraft for a one-way flight<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The airplane needs to be repositioned to pick up passengers in a different location<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The aircraft is returning to home base<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To offset the costs of flying empty, private jet operators will offer steep discounts on the repositioning flight. We can then pass those savings on to you.<\/p>\n<h3>Are empty leg flights real?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. There may not be a lot of them at any given time, but they are real. Above you\u2019ll find a few of our current available empty leg flights that show the departure and arrival locations, the aircraft that will be used, and the cost (if available).<\/p>\n<h3>How do I find an empty leg flight?<\/h3>\n<p>You can start by looking at the listings above. If there aren\u2019t any there that align with your travel plans, reach out to a private flight advisor. In some cases, there may be an empty leg flight that hasn&#8217;t been published to the website yet. If there isn\u2019t one available that suits your needs, you can let your private flight advisor know what you\u2019re looking for and they can notify you if and when a suitable deadhead flight becomes available.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does it cost to fly an empty plane?<\/h3>\n<p>It costs just as much to fly empty as it does with passengers aboard. Even without passengers on board, the aircraft operator will need to pay for fuel, maintenance, landing and hangar fees, pilot and crew wages, and more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empty Leg Flights Frequently Asked Questions Want to know more about empty legs?
