Empty leg private jet flights from Costa Rica (SJO, LIR) and Miami

Private Jet Empty Legs from Costa Rica & Miami

An empty leg is a repositioning flight — the aircraft flies without passengers to pick up its next trip. Booking one gives you the same private jet experience at a significantly reduced rate.

As a direct operator based at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and Liberia International Airport (LIR), we release empty legs across Costa Rica, Miami, the United States, Central America, the Caribbean and Latin America.

Empty Leg FAQ

How much can I save on an empty leg flight?

Empty legs typically price 40% to 70% below a standard charter for the same aircraft, depending on route and timing.

Can I change the date or route of an empty leg?

Empty legs are tied to the aircraft's repositioning schedule, so dates and routes are fixed. If they do not fit, we quote a standard charter instead.

Which airports do your empty legs depart from in Costa Rica?

Mainly Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José and Liberia International Airport (LIR) in Guanacaste.

How do I get notified of new empty legs?

Send us your preferred route and travel window and our charter desk will contact you as soon as a matching leg is released.
