What Is an Empty Leg?
Un vol à vide — ou empty leg — est un vol de repositionnement. Après avoir déposé des passagers, l'avion doit revenir à sa base ou rejoindre sa prochaine mission. Ce trajet, normalement effectué sans passager, est proposé à tarif réduit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Empty Legs
Everything you need to know before booking an empty leg private jet flight.
What exactly is an empty leg flight?
An empty leg is a repositioning flight. When a private jet drops off passengers at a destination, it often needs to return to its base or reach its next mission empty. Rather than flying without passengers, operators offer these flights at significantly reduced rates. You travel in the same aircraft, with the same crew and the same level of service as a standard charter flight.
What is the difference between an empty leg and a charter flight?
A charter flight is a bespoke arrangement: you choose the date, route, aircraft and schedule. An empty leg is a flight already planned by the operator — you don’t choose the route, but you benefit from a 30% to 75% discount on the price. The onboard comfort is strictly identical.
How much can I save with an empty leg?
Savings range from 30% to 75% depending on the route, date and aircraft type. For example, a Light Jet Paris–Nice listed at €8,000 for a charter can be found as an empty leg at €2,500–4,000. A long-haul flight like London–Dubai can drop from €45,000 to €15,000–20,000. The later the booking and the more imminent the flight, the lower the price.
Can the flight be cancelled after I book?
Yes, this is the main drawback of an empty leg. The flight is linked to a primary flight (the client who chartered the aircraft). If that flight is cancelled, delayed or modified, your empty leg is too. That’s why we recommend confirming quickly, maintaining some flexibility, and potentially having a plan B. In case of cancellation, no fees are charged.
How much luggage can I bring?
It depends on the aircraft. As a general rule: a Light Jet (Citation CJ, Phenom 300) accepts 2 to 3 cabin bags per passenger. A Midsize (Citation XLS, Learjet 60) offers a more spacious hold for 4 to 6 bags. A Heavy Jet (Challenger 604, Global 6000) allows large suitcases and bulky equipment (skis, golf clubs, etc.). Our team confirms the exact capacity at booking.
Can I travel with children or pets?
Children: yes, with no age restrictions. Unlike commercial flights, no specific documents are required for accompanied minors (aside from standard passport/ID). Pets: most operators accept pets in the cabin, but this must be confirmed at booking as each operator has its own rules. Please specify when making your request.
How do I book an empty leg on PJC?
Three options: 1) Use the search engine at the top of this page — filter by departure city, arrival and dates. 2) Ask Sophie, our AI assistant available 24/7, who can search for you and set up alerts. 3) Call or write directly to our team via WhatsApp or the contact form. In all cases, we get back to you within the hour with a confirmation and final quote.
Are the listed prices final?
Listed prices are indicative and based on rates provided by operators. The final price may vary slightly depending on airport taxes, handling fees (ground services), and potential extras (catering, transfers). Our team provides a firm and detailed quote before any confirmation — no surprises.
Can I change the route or schedule of an empty leg?
The departure and arrival airports are fixed — they are determined by the primary flight. However, some operators will agree to shift the time by a few hours. In rare cases, a slight airport change within the same city is possible (e.g. Luton instead of Stansted). Our team systematically negotiates on your behalf.
I can't find my destination — what should I do?
Empty legs change daily: new routes appear every day. If your destination isn’t available today, request an alert — we’ll notify you as soon as a matching empty leg is published. You can also consult Sophie, who monitors availability continuously. We can always offer you a standard charter at the best price.
What documents do I need to board?
For intra-European flights (Schengen area): a national ID card is sufficient. For non-Schengen or international flights: a valid passport is required, plus a visa if necessary depending on the destination. Unlike commercial flights, there is no online check-in — you arrive at the private terminal 15 to 30 minutes before departure, and that’s it.
What is the boarding process like for an empty leg?
Exactly like a standard charter flight. You go to the private aviation terminal (FBO) at the specified airport. No queues, no public security checks — a personalised welcome with private lounge access if available. You board the aircraft directly from the tarmac. The whole process rarely takes more than 10 minutes.
Is an empty leg as safe as a normal charter flight?
Absolutely. The aircraft, crew and safety standards are strictly identical. The operators we list are all AOC certified (Air Operator Certificate) and comply with EASA (Europe) or FAA (United States) regulations. An empty leg is not a budget flight — it’s simply a flight whose cost is shared thanks to repositioning.
