Last minute empty legs to Europe’s ski airports from £393pp

With a slow start to the European ski season in many resorts this year and an early Easter holiday, March is seeing a late flurry of last minute skiers hitting the slopes.

If you’re looking to save time – and enjoy a VIP flight experience – we have a number of private jet empty legs to and from airports close to European ski resorts, with prices per person starting at £393 per person one-way, based on maximum aircraft occupancy.

What are private jet empty legs?

An empty leg is a one-way private jet offer that comes about when a private jet is repositioning. As the aircraft is flying anyway, the owner or operator will often be happy to sell this one-way flight at a big discount, often a fraction of the full price.

The current demand for last minute private flights to and from ski resorts is generating a corresponding peak in empty legs, so there are some great offers available. You have to be flexible, as empty legs are one-way and their timings can change, but if people are prepared to book last minute and travel as a group, the cost per person can be surprisingly low.

Save time and enjoy a VIP flight experience

With an empty leg, you can still enjoy all the benefits of private jet travel. Not just the VIP flight experience but also the ability to save significant time – by reducing waiting at the airport to just minutes, and using smaller airports to minimise ground transfers. Sion Airport, for example, is less than an hour by road from Verbier, rather than the two to three hours from the closest airline option of Geneva. This can save many hours that can be spent on the slopes instead – invaluable on a short ski break.

Prices from £393 per person

Some of our ski flights between now and Easter are offering great value. Deals include London to Chambery from £393 per person and London to Geneva from £403 per person on medium jets. For a larger group, or those looking to travel in ultimate VIP style, we are also offering a highly-desirable Gulfstream G550 from London to Innsbruck, at less than half the usual price.

Offers are changing all the time but here are some examples of current empty legs between the UK and airports close to European ski resorts:
