Empty Leg Questions
What is an empty leg?
An empty leg is a one-way flight an aircraft has to make without passengers, usually to reach its next charter or return to its home base. These flights are offered at a reduced price, and the traveler books the whole aircraft, not a single seat.
How much less does an empty leg cost?
Empty legs are typically priced well below a standard charter, with savings of up to 75 percent depending on the route, date and aircraft. ValleyJet confirms the exact price when a flight is requested.
What is the tradeoff?
Empty legs follow the aircraft's schedule, so the route and departure window are set by the original trip and can change if that trip moves. They are best suited to travelers with flexible plans.
How often are issues sent?
About twice a month. Subscribers can also share the routes they fly, and ValleyJet flags matching flights between issues.
How do text alerts work?
Text alerts are optional. After signing up with a mobile number and checking the text alert box, subscribers receive a confirmation text and reply YES to start alerts. Replying STOP ends them at any time.
How do I unsubscribe?
Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and replying STOP to any text ends text alerts.
