Unlock Affordable Luxury: Empty Leg Flights with AFIJET
Unlock Affordable Luxury: Empty Leg Flights with AFIJET
In private aviation, the best-kept secret isn’t a bigger jet or a platinum card—it’s the **empty leg**. These repositioning flights let you enjoy the full Afijet experience at a fraction of the usual charter cost. Below is everything you need to know, re-imagined for our clients and partners.
---
#### 1 | What exactly is an empty leg?
When a client books a one-way charter, the aircraft still needs to reposition to its next assignment or home base—often **without passengers**. That “dead-head” sector becomes an **empty leg** we can offer at a heavily reduced rate. You get the same cabin, crew and VIP treatment; we recover some of the repositioning cost. Win-win.

#### 2 | Why travellers love empty legs
1. **Up to 75 % off** – Because the principal client has already covered the outbound leg, remaining costs are largely fuel and handling.
2. **Impromptu getaways** – Offers pop up days (sometimes hours) before departure—perfect for last-minute business meetings, event hopping or a spontaneous city break.
3. **Tailored comfort** – From spacious cabins to bespoke catering, you still enjoy every Afijet luxury touch—minus the full charter price.
4. **Eco-smarter choice** – Filling a flight that would otherwise fly empty reduces wasted positioning miles.

| **Stay in the loop** | Subscribe to our real-time WhatsApp & email alerts. You’ll receive route, aircraft type and departure window the moment an empty leg is released. |
| **Keep dates flexible** | Empty legs are fixed to a specific aircraft and schedule; having a ± 24-hour window boosts your odds of a perfect match. |
| **Act fast** | Seats often book within hours. Confirm with a quick e-signature and secure payment to lock in the fare. |
| **Consider alternates** | If the routing is Istanbul → Paris but you really need London, we can quote a short onward hop—the combined price still undercuts a standard charter. |

* **Light jet (e.g., Phenom 300):** €4 800 – €6 000 instead of €10 000+
* **Super-midsize (e.g., Challenger 350):** €8 000 – €10 500 vs. €18 000+
* **Long-range (e.g., Gulfstream G550):** €18 000 – €22 000 vs. €40 000+
Prices vary by route, fuel and airport fees—but the percentage discount is real and repeatable.

#### 5 | Pro tips from the Afijet ops desk
* **Travel light:** Empty legs sometimes run with crew-preferred baggage limits; check in advance if you’re travelling with sports gear or pets.
* **Airport pairs matter:** High-demand corridors (e.g., Dubai – Riyadh, Istanbul – Milan) see more repositioning traffic—set alerts for those hubs.
* **Multi-city itineraries:** String two empty legs together or combine with a one-way charter for maximum efficiency. Our team will map it out.
* **Insurance & catering:** All Afijet safety standards, insurance coverages and premium catering menus apply—there’s no drop in service level.
