Empty leg flights from Vancouver

An empty leg is a private jet flying from Vancouver 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 Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Legs at nearby airports such as Boundary Bay Airport (YDT), Langley Airport (YLY), Nanaimo Airport (YCD) are listed separately and can be worth asking about.

We have 2 empty legs from Vancouver right now; the most recent was listed or confirmed about 1 hour ago, with the most heading to Portland and Camarillo. Most are priced on request: ask and we confirm the operator's price for the whole aircraft.

Vancouver to Portland is 218 nm, about 1 h in a midsize jet, with a typical whole-aircraft charter of $5.5k–$11k; Vancouver to Camarillo is 918 nm, about 2 h 25 min in a midsize jet, with a typical whole-aircraft charter of $13k–$27k. 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.

If you need to fly soon, Takeoff Ready lists jets already in position near you, and you can ask for a charter quote for the whole aircraft at any time. We usually reply in minutes.

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.
