Lisbon to Istanbul empty leg flights

An empty leg is a private jet flying from Lisbon to Istanbul 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.

1,734 nautical miles (3,211 km) in a straight line, which is about 5 h 25 min in a light jet (with one fuel stop), 4 h 20 min in a midsize jet, 4 h in a heavy jet. Winds, routing and the aircraft change the real time.

At 1,734 nm, Lisbon to Istanbul is at the edge of what a light jet can normally fly with passengers, so one fuel stop is typical in that size (about 5 h 25 min including the stop). Midsize and larger jets can usually fly it non-stop.
