Whats an empty leg flight?
This is when the aircraft is already scheduled to fly a passenger (or pick up a passenger) on a one way flight. The other “leg”, that the aircraft needs to fly is empty of passengers, and is considered the empty leg or backhaul. Since the aircraft has been paid by the first passenger, the empty leg rate is substantially reduced (between 25-60% off the regular price). Click here for current Empty Leg Flight Specials.
