Empty leg flights from Madera

An empty leg is a private jet flying from Madera without passengers, usually on its way to or from another charter. Operators price these flights below a normal charter, and every leg depends on the operator's main trip going ahead. Prices on this page are for the whole aircraft, not per seat.

We count legs at Madera Municipal Airport (MAE). Legs at nearby airports such as Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT), Merced Regional Macready Field (MCE), Castle Airport (MER) are listed separately and can be worth asking about.

We have 1 empty leg from Madera right now; the most recent was listed or confirmed about 1 hour ago, with the most heading to San Francisco. Most are priced on request: ask and we confirm the operator's price for the whole aircraft.

Madera to San Francisco is 115 nm, about 1 h in a midsize jet, with a typical whole-aircraft charter of $5.5k–$11k. These are estimates; winds, routing and the aircraft change them. Prices are estimated all-in totals for the whole aircraft, including estimated taxes. Your quote confirms the final price before you pay.

Flights between two US airports typically carry the 7.5% federal excise tax plus small per-passenger segment fees; most flights between the United States and another country carry a US international arrival/departure tax per passenger instead. We include an estimate of these in the all-in price you see, and your quote confirms the exact total before you pay.

An empty leg exists because of the operator's main trip, so it can change or be cancelled if that trip does. If a leg you booked is cancelled by the operator, you receive a credit for a future flight, valid 12 months, as set out in our booking terms. If we can offer an alternative flight, we propose it first.
