Zephyr Jets is a private jet charter broker and does not own or operate the aircraft on which its clients fly. Empty leg specials are subject to the primary charter’s schedule and may change or be canceled before departure.
An empty leg special is a private jet repositioning flight — a one-way sector an aircraft must fly without passengers to reach its next assignment or return to base. Because the aircraft is flying that route regardless, operators often price these flights below standard on-demand charter rates.
Empty leg specials are tied to a fixed route, aircraft, and departure window set by the original charter. They work best for travelers who can be flexible on date, time, or nearby airport. If you need a guaranteed departure time or a specific city pair with no flexibility, a standard on-demand charter is the more reliable option.
This page organizes empty leg opportunities by the routes and regions where they occur most often. For a live, hourly-updated feed of current inventory, use our Empty Leg Flights board.
These are the private aviation corridors where Zephyr Jets’ advisors see empty leg specials most frequently, based on where our operator network’s aircraft are regularly positioned.
Teterboro (TEB) to West Palm Beach (PBI) or Miami (OPF) — one of the highest-frequency corridors in private aviation, driven by year-round business and seasonal travel between the Northeast and South Florida.
New York (TEB) to Los Angeles (VNY) or Las Vegas (LAS) — a high-demand transcontinental corridor typically flown on midsize and super-midsize aircraft.
Chicago (PWK) to Houston (HOU) to New York — a recurring multi-stop corporate corridor with frequent repositioning opportunities between legs.
Regional hubs to Aspen (ASE), Vail/Eagle County (EGE), and Jackson Hole (JAC) — empty legs increase sharply during ski season (December–March) as aircraft reposition after dropping off leisure travelers.
A high-frequency ultra-long-range corridor, typically flown on aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650ER or Global 7500.
A recurring long-range business corridor with periodic repositioning availability on heavy and ultra-long-range jets.
High-frequency corridors connecting major U.S. and European financial centers for business and leisure travel.
Seasonal light and midsize jet “island hopper” repositioning flights, most common during winter and early spring.

Speak with a Zephyr Jets advisor about the corridors above, or ask us to watch a specific route for upcoming empty leg availability. Our team will verify current aircraft, pricing, and scheduling before you book.
An empty leg special is a discounted one-way private jet flight created when an aircraft must reposition without passengers to reach its next charter or return to base. Because the flight is already scheduled to occur, operators may price it below standard charter rates.
Corridors between major private aviation hubs see the most repositioning activity — for example, New York–South Florida, New York–Los Angeles/Las Vegas, and seasonal routes to ski destinations like Aspen and Vail. International long-range corridors such as London–New York also see recurring availability.
Contact an advisor and ask for a route watch. We monitor repositioning schedules across our operator network and will reach out when a matching empty leg becomes available on your corridor.
Yes. International empty legs involve additional permit and crew rest requirements, which can make their schedules more stable in advance than short domestic hops — but they remain dependent on the primary charter’s itinerary and can still change.
You can tell your advisor your preferred aircraft category, and we’ll prioritize matching repositioning flights on that type. Because empty legs are tied to a specific operator’s schedule, exact aircraft availability isn’t guaranteed on every route.
Pricing varies by route, aircraft, and timing, since the flight is priced against the operator’s cost of flying an otherwise-empty sector. An advisor will confirm the current discount and final price once you identify a route of interest.
