What Are Empty-Leg Flights?
Empty-leg flights, also known as “deadhead” flights, occur when a private jet needs to return to base or fly to another location without passengers. At Prime Jet Services, we capitalize on these routes by offering them to savvy travelers at discounted rates—often 30–75% lower than standard charters. You get the same luxury jet experience without the full price tag.
Why Empty-Leg Deals Offer Unmatched Value
Premium Cabin at Discounted Pricing
With Prime Jet Services, passengers can enjoy a high-end private jet experience—including plush seating, tailored catering, and top-tier service—at a reduced cost, simply because the aircraft needs to reposition anyway.
Flexibility in Itinerary and Schedule
While routes and times are pre-set, empty-leg flights often allow for spontaneous bookings. This flexibility appeals to leisure travelers, last-minute vacationers, and executives with agile schedules.
Sustainable and Efficient Travel
Booking an empty-leg flight reduces waste by utilizing aircraft that would otherwise fly empty, aligning comfort with environmental consciousness.
