Question 1

What is an empty leg charter?

Accepted Answer

An empty leg charter is a private jet flight that is already scheduled to fly without passengers, usually because the aircraft needs to reposition for its next booked trip or return to its home base. Since the aircraft is flying that route anyway, travelers with flexible schedules can often book the flight at a reduced rate while still enjoying the comfort, privacy, and convenience of private aviation.

Question 2

What makes an empty leg jet charter a smart option for frequent private travellers?

Accepted Answer

Empty leg charters offer the same premium private aviation experience at a significantly reduced cost. Because these flights are already scheduled to reposition, flexible travelers can access high-quality aircraft, streamlined booking, and last-minute route opportunities without paying full charter pricing. For frequent flyers with adaptable schedules, empty legs can be one of the most efficient ways to save while still flying private.

Question 3

How does Big Bird Aviation choose the right aircraft for my trip?

Accepted Answer

We match each flight to the aircraft that best fits your route, passenger count, luggage requirements, timing, and overall travel preferences. Our team reviews the mission carefully and sources options through trusted certified operators, helping ensure the aircraft selected is practical, comfortable, and aligned with your needs.

Question 4

Can I book a private jet with short notice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Private aviation is often built around flexibility, and many flights can be arranged with limited notice depending on aircraft availability, airport access, crew scheduling, and required permits. Our team works quickly to present suitable options and coordinate the details as efficiently as possible.

Question 5

Is private jet charter only for business travel?

Accepted Answer

No. Private jet charter is used for business, leisure, family travel, special events, group trips, medical-related travel, and time-sensitive itineraries. Whether the priority is privacy, convenience, comfort, or schedule control, we help tailor the flight experience around the purpose of the trip.

Question 6

What information do I need to request a charter quote?

Accepted Answer

To prepare an accurate quote, we typically need your departure and arrival cities, preferred travel dates and times, number of passengers, luggage details, and any special requests. The more detail provided upfront, the faster we can identify the best aircraft options for your trip.
