How Empty-Leg Flights Work

An empty leg is a repositioning flight: a jet that dropped passengers off one-way must fly back or onward empty. Operators sell these legs at a discount rather than fly with no revenue.

The trade-off is flexibility: the schedule follows the original paying customer, so departure times can move or the leg can be cancelled.

Empty legs suit flexible travelers on popular routes. Browse current legs and request one directly.
