It will be flying that leg empty. Empty leg flights do not offer any flexibility, they will have a pre-determined  aircraft type, departure date and time, and destination. Empty leg flights are often available at up to 75% discount on the usual charter price. The exact price will depends on the route and the operator. Operators are sometimes prepared to offer exceptionally low prices at the last minute, if they haven\u2019t been able to sell the flight at the full price.&nbsp; Contact <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Maggie (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelcounsellors.co.uk\/maggie.bush\" target=\"_blank\">Maggie<\/a> to find you a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/family-2611748_1920-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Family Holiday\" class=\"wp-image-551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/family-2611748_1920-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/family-2611748_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/family-2611748_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/family-2611748_1920-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/family-2611748_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Family Holiday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Travelling with the family or a group of friends, then private jet charter will take the stress out of travelling.&nbsp; With the benefit of private terminals you can avoid the hustle  and bustle and endless queuing of busy airports.
