Discounted Private Flights
Save 25-50% on repositioning flights across the VistaJet fleet. Same aircraft, same service — significantly lower cost.
When a VistaJet aircraft completes a booking and needs to fly to its next departure point, that repositioning flight is called an "empty leg." Rather than fly the aircraft empty, VistaJet offers these flights at discounted rates — typically 25-50% below standard programme pricing.
The experience is identical to a regular VistaJet flight: the same Bombardier aircraft, the same crew standards, the same silver-and-red cabin quality. The only difference is the price — and the fact that the route and timing are fixed.
Empty legs are a natural byproduct of programme operations. With a fleet of over 360 aircraft flying globally, VistaJet generates thousands of repositioning flights each year — many of which align with popular European and Middle Eastern routes.

Note: Empty leg pricing is variable and depends on the specific route, aircraft, timing, and VistaJet's repositioning needs. Savings shown are typical ranges — actual discounts vary by flight.
Unlike some operators, VistaJet does not publicly list empty legs on their website. Availability is shared through their Ambassador network and programme account managers — which means access depends on having the right connections.
As a VistaJet Ambassador, Stirling Access has direct visibility into empty leg availability across the fleet. We also monitor repositioning opportunities from other operators in our network, giving you access to the widest possible pool of discounted flights.

These are some of the most common repositioning routes we see across the VistaJet fleet. Availability changes constantly.
| From | To | Typical Aircraft | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| London | Geneva | Challenger 350 | Very common |
| Paris | Nice | Challenger 350 | Common (seasonal) |
| Dubai | London | Global 6000 / 7500 | Common |
| Milan | London | Challenger 350 | Common |
| London | Ibiza | Challenger 350 | Seasonal (summer) |
| Zurich | London | Challenger 350 / Global 6000 | Common |
| Moscow | Nice | Global 7500 | Occasional |
| London | Farnborough | Various | Very common (short repo) |
Empty legs fly on a specific date and time determined by the aircraft's schedule. There is little to no flexibility — the flight departs when the repositioning requires it.
The departure and arrival airports are set by the aircraft's positioning needs. Small deviations (e.g. Farnborough instead of Luton) may be possible, but the core route is fixed.
Most empty legs become available 1-7 days before departure. Some appear 2-3 weeks out, but flexibility with timing is essential.
Each empty leg is a single repositioning movement. Return flights require a separate booking — either another empty leg (if available) or a standard charter.
If the programme booking that created the empty leg changes or cancels, the empty leg may be withdrawn. This is rare but possible.
Finding empty legs on your own is difficult — they're not publicly listed, availability changes constantly, and the window to book is narrow. This is where having a dedicated concierge makes the difference.
Stirling Access monitors empty leg availability across our entire network — not just VistaJet, but multiple operators and brokers. When a repositioning flight matches your preferred routes and timing, we contact you immediately with the details and pricing.
We also combine empty legs with other cost-saving strategies: pairing an empty leg outbound with a competitive charter return, or suggesting flexible airport alternatives that unlock additional repositioning opportunities. The goal is simple — get you flying privately at the lowest possible cost.
An empty leg is a repositioning flight — when a VistaJet aircraft needs to fly without passengers to reach its next booking. Rather than fly empty, VistaJet offers these flights at significant discounts (typically 25-50% off programme rates). The aircraft, crew, and service are identical to a regular VistaJet flight.
Savings typically range from 25-50% compared to standard programme hourly rates. The exact discount depends on the route, aircraft type, timing, and how urgently VistaJet needs to reposition the aircraft. A Challenger 350 empty leg from London to Geneva might cost $5,000-$7,000/hr versus $9,000-$11,000/hr at programme rates.
VistaJet empty legs are not publicly listed on their website. Access comes through their Ambassador network and account managers. Stirling Access, as a VistaJet Ambassador, monitors empty leg availability across our network and can alert you when flights match your preferred routes.
Empty legs are almost always one-way only, since each leg is a separate repositioning movement. Occasionally, a round-trip opportunity arises when an aircraft needs to return to its base, but this is rare and timing-dependent. For return flights, combining an empty leg one way with an ad-hoc charter return can still save significantly.
Empty legs typically become available 1-7 days before the flight, though some can appear 2-3 weeks out. The short notice is inherent to repositioning flights — they only exist when a scheduled booking creates a positioning need. Flexibility with dates is key to taking advantage of empty legs.
We'll monitor VistaJet empty leg availability and alert you when discounted flights match your routes. Free, no commitment.
