Empty legs
Empty leg flights in Australia
Empty Leg is a trip type on the enquiry form. It is not a fare sale, and this page is not a list of discounted seats. If a positioning flight suits your dates, the advisor will say so.
What an empty leg means here
In ordinary charter language, an empty leg is a sector an aircraft is already flying without passengers, often to position for another booking. You may ask MY PRIVATE JET to look for one by choosing Empty Leg on the form.
The company does not publish a board of those flights, a percentage off, or a promise that one exists on your route.
How it differs from booking the aircraft yourself
A normal one-way charter asks for an aircraft for your cities and your time. An empty-leg request asks whether a suitable positioning flight already matches you. The cities, the date and often the aircraft are less flexible, because the flight is serving another trip.
If nothing matches, the alternative is a One Way, Return or Multi-Leg enquiry. The Sydney–Melbourne light-jet benchmark and the Sydney–Singapore heavy-jet benchmark are not empty-leg prices.
What to write in the notes
The cities you can accept, the dates you can move, how many passengers, and whether a one-way positioning flight is actually useful. A return trip usually is not an empty leg in both directions.
Send it to flymeaway@myprivatejet.com.au. A dedicated aviation advisor responds within one business hour. A reply is not a confirmed booking.
Membership does not create a public empty-leg list
Jet card tiers change how quickly a request is handled and, on some tiers, the rate basis. They do not add a published empty-leg inventory to this website.
If you hold, or want, an account and you are flexible on a sector, say that in the same enquiry. The concierge can consider it with the account. The balance rules are unchanged: charges are drawn from the live balance once an account exists.
QUESTIONS
Short answers first. Where a detail depends on the aircraft or the day, your advisor confirms it.
Do you offer empty leg flights in Australia?
Empty Leg can be requested as a trip type when you enquire.
This site does not publish a live empty-leg inventory, a fixed discount, or guaranteed seats. An empty leg, in ordinary charter language, is a positioning sector an operator may already be flying. Your aviation advisor confirms whether a suitable flight exists for your dates and route. One Way, Return and Multi-Leg remain the other published trip types.
How much does a private jet charter in Australia cost?
A private jet charter in Australia is priced for the whole flight, not per seat. Light jets cost less than super-midsize, heavy or ultra-long-range aircraft. Positioning, airports, crew time and extras such as catering are added. Your advisor confirms the quote for your dates.
Two planning benchmarks are published. Sydney ⇄ Melbourne on a Light Jet is from $18,500 AUD. Sydney ⇄ Singapore on a Heavy Jet is from $145,000 AUD. They are samples for those trips, not fares for other routes, and not a price you can pay on this website.
How far in advance should I book a private jet?
Many charters are arranged a few days to a few weeks ahead. A same-week departure is sometimes possible when an aircraft and crew are free, and a peak date needs longer. Nothing on this site is a guaranteed notice period.
A dedicated aviation advisor responds within one business hour. Concierge hours are Mon – Fri: 08:30 – 17:30. Saturday & Sunday: by appointment. VIP Elite, Corporate Partner and Family Office are membership accounts with their own coordination. An aircraft is still confirmed for each trip.
What happens after I enquire about a charter?
Your enquiry goes to flymeaway@myprivatejet.com.au. A dedicated aviation advisor responds within one business hour.
Mon – Fri: 08:30 – 17:30. Saturday & Sunday: by appointment. The form does not create a booking, a contract of carriage, or an allocation of an aircraft. A price is an estimate until a formal quote confirms it.
