Confirm & Sign

Once the operator confirms your flight, you’ll receive a simple e-sign agreement. Review the details and sign electronically — it takes less than a minute.

Pay & Fly

Pay your remaining balance and you’re all set. Show up, skip the queues, and enjoy the comfort of a private flight at a fraction of what a full charter would cost.

What Are Empty Leg Flights?

When a private charter finishes a trip, the aircraft often needs to fly back to base or reposition for its next booking — with no passengers on board. These are called empty legs.

BetterJet partners with charter operators across New Zealand to fill these seats that would otherwise go to waste. You get the private flying experience. They get revenue on flights that were happening anyway. Everyone wins.

Never Miss a Deal

Empty leg flights come and go quickly. Set up a flight alert for your preferred routes and we'll email you the moment a matching flight is listed. Be the first to know, be the first to book.
