We are talking about flying private with my buddy, Eddie, who recently flew from Phoenix to Las Vegas for cheaper than flying commercial. ‘Empty legs’ are flights that are due to operate without any passengers as the aircraft repositions back to its base, or is going elsewhere to be ready for its next assignment. If you can move quickly or have a flexible schedule, an empty leg can help you save significantly on the cost of a conventional private jet charter. We get into the details of his trip and how he was treated like a VIP throughout.
