What's the difference between charter and empty-leg pricing?
A full charter is the standard private-jet booking — you specify the route and date, and pay the operator's full hourly rate. An empty-leg flight is a repositioning flight where the operator needs to fly the aircraft anyway and sells it at 40–75% off. Empty legs are whole-aircraft bookings (you book the entire plane, not per seat) and require flexible timing.
