Empty legs from London
Aircraft finish one-way trips in London every day and leave again to meet their next client — each of those flights is a potential empty leg. Private jets fly from London Luton Airport (LTN), Farnborough Airport (FAB), London City Airport (LCY), London Biggin Hill Airport (BQH). On our estimates, an empty leg out of London usually sells for about $3,700–$5,600 on the cheapest route (London → Paris), against $7,400 for the same flight booked as a full one-way charter.
Typical empty-leg prices from London
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
- Set an empty-leg alert for London in the Yond app — you get a push when new legs appear near the airport you follow.
- 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.
