Empty Leg Flights to Mexico —
Private Jet Charters at 30–75% Off.

An empty leg is a one-way private jet flight that an operator already needs to fly with no passengers — typically because a previous client booked one direction only, and the aircraft needs to be repositioned. Selling that empty leg at a steep discount lets the operator offset the cost of an otherwise uncovered flight, which is why empty leg pricing typically runs 30–75% below standard charter rates for the same aircraft.

Industry-typical savings on an empty leg run from about 30% on competitive routes (LA–Cabo on a Friday) to 75% on opportunistic mid-week repositioning flights. A LAX–Cabo private jet charter typically prices around $25,000–$30,000; the same aircraft as an empty leg often clears $8,000–$18,000 depending on the date and operator.

Empty legs are subject to the operator's primary client. If that client cancels, modifies, or reschedules their original flight, the empty leg can be cancelled or shifted. We always disclose this when you inquire. For high-stakes travel — weddings, surgeries, time-critical commitments — a standard charter is more dependable. For flexible travelers who can shift a day or two, empty legs deliver remarkable value.

Same business day in most cases. Empty legs move quickly — we work directly with Farringdon Jets to lock the flight while we hold it for you. If you inquire outside business hours we'll confirm by the next morning Pacific time.

No. The passenger count on each flight is a hard limit set by the aircraft and operator, not a default. If you need a different aircraft size, we can run a standard charter quote in parallel — most empty legs that don't suit your group are followed within days by another that does.

Yes — and most of our jet bookings come bundled with one of our villas in Cabo, Punta Mita, Puerto Vallarta, or the Riviera Maya. Submit your inquiry with your destination and dates and we'll prepare both the flight and a curated villa shortlist. One reservation, one team.

The flight itself, federal taxes, fuel surcharges, crew, and the segment from origin airport to destination airport. Standard catering, ground transportation to the FBO, and trip insurance are quoted separately. We itemise everything in your confirmation.

Yes. Outbound empty legs from Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico City, and Cancún surface regularly — typically heading to Texas, California, or East Coast hubs after a primary client has flown one-way down. Check the outbound sections on this page or join our weekly alerts to be notified when one matches your route.

Yes — and for many travelers, it's substantially more discreet than commercial travel. Private aviation routes you through FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators) rather than public terminals. Customs and immigration are processed planeside. Your luggage is moved directly to your ground transport without a public baggage claim. For travelers wanting additional discretion or executive protection, our team can coordinate with vetted Mexico-based security partners in every region we serve.

Yes, this is one of the highest-leverage things we do. Send us your origin, preferred destination, and a date range with flexibility (e.g. "first week of June ±3 days"). We'll watch the Farringdon weekly releases and alert you the moment a fitting empty leg surfaces. Most of our bookings come from this kind of opportunistic match.

Yes. Most operators on our network are pet-friendly and pets travel in the cabin with you, not in cargo. We confirm pet policy at the time of booking — and for international flights, we'll handle the customs paperwork and remind you of the documentation needed for entry into Mexico.

15–30 minutes before scheduled departure is standard. There are no security lines, no boarding queue, no gate to find. Drive directly to the FBO, hand off your luggage to ground crew, walk onto the aircraft. For international flights to Mexico, allow an additional 15 minutes for customs paperwork on departure.
