Empty leg flights to Seattle

An empty leg is a private jet flying to Seattle 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 King County International Airport - Boeing Field (BFI), Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA). King County International Airport - Boeing Field is a common choice for private jets. Legs at nearby airports such as Bremerton National Airport (PWT), Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW), Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) are listed separately and can be worth asking about.

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

San Francisco to Seattle is 595 nm, about 1 h 40 min in a midsize jet, with a typical whole-aircraft charter of $9k–$19k; Santa Ana to Seattle is 855 nm, about 2 h 15 min in a midsize jet, with a typical whole-aircraft charter of $12k–$25k. 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.
