Is an Empty-leg Flight and a One-way Flight the Same Thing?
No, they are two different types of flights. An empty leg is an unscheduled trip, a viable option even if it does not match your itinerary perfectly, as flight times and destinations are flexible. Hence, purchasing an empty-leg flight is less expensive than booking a one-way flight. A one-way flight is a scheduled flight, dictated by a passenger’s flight requirement that doesn’t allow for flexibility.
Why Private Air Charter Versus Airlines?
Whether you’re looking for a quick, empty-leg flight, a one-way or a round-trip flight, the beauty of on-demand air charter is that you get to decide when you depart, unlike commercial airline travel. Traditional airline travel is based on airlines’ schedules, not yours. Many airlines have cut routes and reduced seats in business and first-class sections. Airlines dictate when and what you do, and if they change course, oh well, it’s up to you to try finding an alternative flight—after you’ve wasted value time hanging out at some terminal gate for hours on end.
Unlike commercial airline travel, private air charter is all about putting you in the driver’s seat—you’re in charge! You get to decide what kind of amenities you want on board a private aircraft. You can have it all: choice of food and beverage (with real utensils); comfortable seating with ample leg space; work stations that have Internet access; multi-entertainment systems (great for business or leisure travel, and really great for children); DVDs and CDs; satellite phones; business at-ease-connectivity with today’s most updated technology; ease of having private conversations without strangers eavesdropping or peeking at your laptop; security of knowing who you are traveling with; clean lavatories; and you won’t be charged extra for carry-on or stowed luggage.
What Should I Know About Air Safety?
Aside from the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration regulates all air travel, including all private air charter operators’ aircraft and crew within the United States, Air Royale has taken additional safety measures. Please visit our “Air Safety” page.
