I know what you’re thinking. You can’t possibly charter a private jet without spending a fortune. Private jets typically cost tens of thousands of pounds, making them accessible only to the super-rich and famous.

But what if I told you there’s a way for ordinary people to charter private jets? It might not be your go-to travel method, but you can find incredible deals that make this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity achievable.

Meet Empty Legs.

This industry term describes an empty plane. Charter companies transport billionaires and celebrities to luxurious destinations and then need to reposition the plane elsewhere. Instead of flying an empty plane, smart charter companies sell these flights at a discounted rate. It’s better to earn some money than none at all. Car rental companies have a similar practice where they let people relocate cars for free, provided they drive the vehicle from one location to another within a specified period.

This practice gives everyday people the chance to experience the VIP lifestyle at a fraction of the cost. While a flight might still cost a couple of thousand pounds, it becomes more affordable if you fill an 8-10 seater plane. It’s an excellent option for special occasions like milestone birthdays, proposals, honeymoons, or simply checking something off your bucket list.

And the best part? You still get the full private plane experience. That includes champagne, luxury snacks, and the convenience of arriving just 15 minutes before takeoff.

No more cramped seats, dreadful plane meals, or unpleasant airplane toilets. You also won’t have to worry about sneaking in overweight or oversized cabin baggage, hoping no one notices.

I think it would be perfect for a big birthday celebration. My 30th birthday is in two and a half years, so I better start saving! The only downside is that it might be hard to return to budget airlines after experiencing the high life. I’ve been fortunate enough to fly first or business class a few times, and even that made going back to economy difficult. Imagine how challenging it would be after flying on a private jet!
