Empty legs
An empty leg is a repositioning flight an operator sells at a discount because the aircraft has to fly anyway. If your dates are flexible, empty legs from Las Vegas can be one of the cheapest ways to fly private, often 25 to 75 percent below a standard charter.
Las Vegas fills up for events and conventions and empties out afterwards, so empty legs from Las Vegas come up often. The usual runs are west to Los Angeles, east to New York and Chicago, down to Miami, and back to wherever the aircraft came in from.
An empty leg follows the operator’s schedule, not yours. The date, time and route are largely fixed, it is almost always one way, and it can be cancelled if the original trip that created it changes. For a flexible traveller that is a fair trade for the saving. For a fixed, must-happen trip, keep a backup.
Empty legs appear and disappear fast, often only days before departure. The reliable way to catch a good one is to tell us your rough plans and let us watch operator repositioning out of Las Vegas directly, then quote you the operator’s real price with one flat fee and no markup. If a genuine empty leg fits, you keep the full saving.

When you request a charter quote, the number you receive is not the operator's price. It carries a broker commission, usually 5% to 30%, that is almost never shown as a separate line.
