Take advantage of increased aircraft movement during peak spring travel
Spring break travel is right around the corner and with it comes some of our busiest months of charter flying. The increased movement of our entire fleet presents unique opportunities to individuals with some degree of flexibility built into their spring break travel plans.
One of the best ways to charter large cabin jets like our Gulfstream airframes is to keep an eye on our “Empty Leg” listings that are updated multiple times every week. Large cabin jets are perfect for bigger groups or family getaways which makes these Empty Legs a unique travel opportunity.
This spring, we have ample supply of repositioning flights between the Caribbean islands and the United States and a few departures from Europe to the United States. This might be your chance to snag a Gulfstream jet flight at a fraction of the retail price.
Supply and Demand
We have seen strong demand for charter flights beginning mid-March and ending around late April, reflecting the strength of total industry demand this spring. This inevitably causes charter quotes to be pricier during the peak travel weeks for spring break, as ramp fees and fuel prices increase during periods of surging demand.
It’s important to bear this in mind when shopping around for a spring break charter this year. No matter who you choose to fly with, make sure the quote you receive is realistic considering the quality of service you expect and the kind of aircraft you’ll be chartering.
Empty Leg Best Deals
If you’re looking to find a deal, catching an empty leg will be your best bet at this time of year. If you don’t have your heart set on a particular Caribbean island, you can monitor the available legs and select the island destination that’s right for you and your group.
Our empty leg availability is always subject to change and flights are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Here are some examples of the best Empty Leg opportunities on our books right now:
