Why empty-leg flights are cheaper than commercial first class

The Math

How a private jet
can beat first class.

LAX
Los Angeles
LAS
Las Vegas

An operator books the jet for the trip out, at full charter rate. The jet has to fly home. Empty. That return is the empty leg, and they've already paid for it.

Step 01 · The empty leg

The jet flies home
either way.

Already committed
Crew on board
Fuel for the trip
Slot fees, both ends
Aircraft positioning time

Whether the seats fill or fly empty. The return is sunk.

Step 02 · The split

Three grand. Six seats.
Five hundred each.
