Everything you need to know about flying with SkyReserve.
An empty-leg flight occurs when a private jet needs to reposition — flying without passengers from one airport to another. SkyReserve lists these flights in real time so you can book them at a significant discount, often 50–75% below the cost of a standard charter.
Empty-leg flights can be booked as little as a few hours before departure, subject to availability. For on-demand charters, we recommend at least 24–48 hours of lead time, though our concierge team has arranged same-day departures when aircraft and crew are available.
Every operator on the SkyReserve platform holds a current FAA Part 135 certificate and has been independently audited by ARG/US or Wyvern. We continuously monitor maintenance records, crew certifications, and insurance coverage. Aircraft that fall below our standards are immediately removed from the platform.
Yes. One of the major advantages of private aviation is pet-friendly travel. Most operators welcome pets in the cabin — no cargo hold, no carrier restrictions. Let your concierge know in advance so we can confirm with the specific operator and arrange any additional requirements.
Cancellation policies vary by operator and flight type. Empty-leg flights are generally non-refundable due to their discounted nature, though our team will work to rebook you on an alternative flight. On-demand charters typically allow free cancellation up to 72 hours before departure. Your concierge can walk you through the specific terms for any booking.
Empty-leg flights are priced per flight, not per seat — you book the entire aircraft. Pricing depends on the route, aircraft type, and availability. On-demand charters are quoted based on flight hours, aircraft category, and any additional services (catering, ground transport). Contact our concierge for a detailed quote on any route.
Yes — our Co-Flyer board connects travelers flying similar routes so you can share a charter or empty leg and split the cost. Post your route and travel dates, and SkyReserve will match you with verified co-flyers heading the same direction. Many members save 50–75% by sharing flights regularly.
