An empty leg is a repositioning flight: the private jet has to fly without passengers to its next job or back to base, and the operator sells that flight at a steep discount. Date, time and route are set by the operator, so empty legs suit travellers with flexible plans.

If you want to charter a private jet from Johannesburg on fixed dates, a charter request collects quotes from several operators for any date and destination. Empty legs are the cheaper option when route and timing fit.
