For years, Empty Legs have been the go-to option for flyers looking to secure discounted private jet flights. While these repositioning flights offer potential savings, they come with significant limitations—unpredictable availability, lack of flexibility, and hidden costs.
Recognising these challenges, Victor recently introduced Victor Deals—a more exclusive and structured way to access premium private jet travel at exceptional rates. Unlike empty legs, which depend on another traveller’s itinerary, Victor Deals provides guaranteed flights and transparent pricing from a curated network of top-tier operators.
Understanding Empty Legs
Empty leg flights occur when a private jet must reposition for its next scheduled trip. Instead of flying without passengers, operators sometimes offer these flights at a significant discount to recoup some costs. While the appeal of lower pricing is undeniable, empty legs come with substantial drawbacks:
- Uncertain Availability: Since empty legs exist to serve primary bookings, they are subject to change or cancel if the original itinerary shifts.
- Limited Flexibility: Travellers must conform to pre-determined departure points and schedules, with little room for customization.
- Hidden Costs: Some empty legs do not include all expenses, such as landing fees, fuel surcharges, or de-icing costs, potentially increasing the final price.
- No Guaranteed Backup: If the aircraft experiences mechanical issues or an Aircraft on-ground (AOG) scenario, there is no assurance of an alternative solution.
For those with extremely flexible schedules who can accommodate sudden changes, empty legs can present an opportunity. However, for those who value certainty, consistency, and control, this option carries significant risk.
Victor Deals: A Better Alternative
Recognising the challenges posed by empty legs, Victor introduced Victor Deals—a more structured yet cost-effective solution. Unlike empty legs, Victor Deals offers discounted private jet flights while maintaining reliability and a consistently premium service.
Key Advantages of Victor Deals:

Making the Right Choice For You
For those who are willing to take on the risks associated with empty legs, the cost savings can be appealing. However, the unpredictability of these flights makes them unsuitable for business executives, time-sensitive travelers, or those who require a flawless travel experience.
Victor Deals, by contrast, provide a balance of affordability and dependability, allowing travellers to enjoy the advantages of private jet travel without compromising on quality or certainty. With exclusive routes, transparent pricing, and flights operated by trusted, top-tier operators, Victor Deals represent a superior alternative to empty legs.
