Empty Leg Guide
The practical details behind current listings, displayed prices, schedule flexibility, and written confirmation.
An empty leg is an operator’s published repositioning flight tied to another assignment. Travelers accept less control over airports, timing and aircraft than on-demand charter; the direct carrier must confirm that the movement still works.
Check the route, date window, aircraft, displayed estimate and supplied seating. Request pricing or missing values require a written answer; they do not mean a free flight or unlimited capacity. A date window does not confirm a departure time.
Airport changes, positioning, handling, permits, catering, deicing, taxes and passenger fees can change the total. Compare complete empty-leg and on-demand proposals for the same trip; the movement can disappear if the operator’s underlying assignment changes.
Compare Teterboro and Westchester for New York, or Opa-locka and Fort Lauderdale for South Florida. Nearby results can include airports within 250 miles of each selected airport; changing airports requires carrier approval. Reversing the route or adding a return usually requires separate charter sourcing.
The identified direct carrier retains operational control of crew, dispatch, weather decisions and the flight. Review the aircraft, itinerary, passenger and baggage limits, taxes, fees, payment and cancellation terms in writing before making nonrefundable ground arrangements.
An alert records interest without holding a seat, aircraft or price. Request an on-demand quote alongside the search when your dates, cabin requirements or return schedule are fixed.
For a U.S. charter, use the FAA operator lists to check the proposed carrier and aircraft. Review the charter arranger disclosures alongside the complete written proposal.

Choose a departure city or airport, add an optional destination, and select your dates and group size. Leave the destination open to explore the returned routes.

Yes. Choose a departure airport and leave Flying to blank to explore any destination in the returned listings. A flexible date window and nearby airports can reveal more possibilities. Search results are a snapshot of the listing source, not a guarantee of every available aircraft.
Any date searches the next 90 days. If you choose only an earliest date, the search covers 90 days from that date. Date filters include listings whose availability windows overlap your selected dates, using UTC calendar dates. They do not confirm a departure time. A passenger filter shows only listings with supplied seating capacity for at least that group size; listings without seating information are excluded. Baggage, seating, and final timing still require confirmation.
An empty leg is a flight an operator may offer when an aircraft needs to reposition without charter passengers. The route, timing, aircraft, and written terms are tied to that specific repositioning movement.
There is no fixed empty-leg discount or public rate card. Pricing is trip-specific and depends on the identified aircraft, route, timing, operator terms, taxes, and fees shown in the written proposal.
An empty leg is tied to an operator's positioning requirement, so a requested change may make that flight unavailable or change the proposal. Any accepted airport or schedule change must be confirmed in writing by the identified direct air carrier.
Listings can appear, change, or be withdrawn as an operator's schedule changes. Search current listings and ask Jet Partners to recheck the proposed aircraft, schedule, and terms before relying on a result.
An empty leg must be operated by a properly licensed direct air carrier. The identified carrier retains operational control and confirms the aircraft, crew, routing, weather decisions, and trip terms in writing before the flight.
