When a private jet takes a client from say Cape Town to Johannesburg, it still has to get back to Cape Town. So it flies back to Cape town empty. This is called an ’empty leg.’ Because the dates of these empty legs are not flexible, they are made available to you at a fraction of the normal charter rate (up to 75% off). Note that prices are quoted for the whole aircraft, all seats, whether they are full or not. So for example, you could find a flight that suits your schedule from Johannesburg to Cape Town for R29,500. And that could be in a jet with 6 seats. So if you book for 6 people, it will cost R4,916 a person. Or perhaps you want the whole jet to yourself?
