Empty legs from Denver
Aircraft finish one-way trips in Denver every day and leave again to meet their next client — each of those flights is a potential empty leg. Private jets fly from Centennial Airport (APA), Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC). On our estimates, an empty leg out of Denver usually sells for about $4,500–$6,700 on the cheapest route (Denver → Dallas), against $8,900 for the same flight booked as a full one-way charter.
Typical empty-leg prices from Denver
Full one-way prices are Yond engine estimates for the cheapest aircraft class that can fly the route. Empty legs usually sell 25–50% below that; a real leg exists only when an aircraft happens to reposition on the route.

How to catch an empty leg

- Stay flexible on the day and the airport: legs follow someone else's schedule and can move or disappear with the original booking.
- Fly one way. If the date is fixed, compare the leg with a full one-way estimate before you decide.
