Empty legs can be considerably less expensive than a normal charter flight because you would be filling an airplane, or a seat in an airplane, that otherwise would have been empty.  We call these empty legs "MT legs" to remind travelers that they are where you will find your "Minimum Toll" for flights.  If you can structure your itinerary to take advantage of an MT leg you will be doing everyone a favor.  Even at a reduced fare the Operator will benefit because you will be paying for a flight that would not have otherwise generated any income.  You will benefit by the generally lower fares charged for MT Legs.  By flying on an MT leg you will be increasing efficiency of the operator's business, reducing fuel consumption and reducing green house gas emissions.   

In this example you can see how posted MT Legs appear on our MT Leg Bulletin Board.

The next page presents you with details about the empty leg flight, statistics and photos of the aircraft:

If you are interested in booking the aircraft you can fill out a Travel Request by clicking on the "Make an Offer" button.  This Request will go directly to the listing operator  via email.  The operator can then send a bid tailored to your specific Travel Request.

Please note that you don't need to find an empty leg between the exact airports where you want to fly.  For example Let's say you want to travel from San Jose California to Denver, CO but you can't find an MT Leg between those two cities.  You can look for MT Legs between nearby locations and the pilots can make short side trips to pick you up and drop you off.  See the example above with the Citation Mustang.  The operator of this aircraft could drop you off in Denver on their way to Des Moines.  This arrangement would be great for the operator since the aircraft would need to stop for fuel along the way.  They would probably give you a price even less than the offer price because you won't be going the whole distance to Iowa.

The dynamics of empty leg flights are many and varied.  The best way to find a great deal is to look around and see what pops up.  If you can flex your travel plans around the flights you increase your chances of finding the perfect trip at a fantastic price.  If you are available any day within a one week window there will surely be operators looking for your patronage.   How will they find you?  By using Taxijet.com!
