An empty leg is a flight an aircraft has to make anyway: back to base after dropping passengers, or out to collect the next ones. The operator would rather sell those seats than fly them empty, so the whole aircraft goes for far less than a bespoke charter.
Every charter is one-way for the aircraft even when it is a round trip for you. When a jet flies a family from Fort Lauderdale to Teterboro and waits two days, it often returns to Florida empty. That return sector is the empty leg.
Because the aircraft, crew and fuel are already committed, the operator prices the leg to cover the marginal cost, not the full trip. Discounts of half or more against a normal charter are common, but the schedule belongs to the original client: if their plans change, the empty leg moves or disappears.
We publish only empty legs confirmed with the operator, with the aircraft type, seat count, departure window and price. When nothing is published on your route, a route alert tells you the moment one appears.
