What are the best alternatives to Empty Private Flights in 2026?

By Richard Jasinski·Updated 11 November 2026

These 29 private jet companies offer empty legs and alerts for them on their own websites, read 10 November 2026. Each card gives what the company says about it, with the aircraft, place, hours, fee or price where it names one, then what it sells, why to choose it, what to ask for and the limits it publishes.

What are the best alternatives to Empty Private Flights in 2026?

29 companies in the Uncompromised Travel table say on their own websites that they offer empty legs and alerts for them, as Empty Private Flights does. What Empty Private Flights publishes: Runs an empty-leg platform where VOMOS arranges flights as a broker and licensed charter operators fly them and also offers instant estimates for full charters. It says no membership is needed.

Who is on this page and why. The Uncompromised Travel private jet charter table holds 104 companies: the charter brokers, jet card and membership programmes, fractional owners, operators, empty-leg platforms and shared-seat sellers ChatGPT names most often when asked about private jets. Their own websites were read on 10 November 2026, with their Google listings matched by name. This page carries the 29 companies in the table that, on their own websites, offer empty legs and alerts for them, where that can be shown in their own words with any price dated; a line that rests only on a price with no year is left out. Cards are in alphabetical order. Each line on a card gives what the company's own website says, with a link to the page it came from; a second reader checked 540 of the table's rows against the pages. No company paid to be on this page.

Which of these show a dated price on this page?

6 of the 29 cards show a published price, with its currency as the company writes it. Ask every company for a written quote with your dates, aircraft and what it includes.

Who to contact first

Start with the 6 companies on this page that show prices online and publish their cancellation terms, then add any other card that fits your route and dates.

What to ask each one to set out in writing:

  • The total price in writing, line by line: the aircraft, fuel, crew, landing and handling fees, taxes (VAT or US Federal Excise Tax), de-icing and catering. Then which of these can change after you book.
  • The operator's name, the aircraft's tail number, its operating certificate and any safety audit the operator holds (ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO).
  • How your money is held before the flight, the deposit and when the balance is due.
  • The cancellation terms and what happens if the aircraft goes unserviceable or an empty leg is cancelled.

Alternatives to Empty Private Flights: the questions people ask

What should I ask a private jet company before booking?

The total price line by line and what can change it; the operator's name, the aircraft's tail number and its operating certificate; any safety audit it holds; how your money is held; the deposit and the cancellation terms.

Can I book with these companies directly?

Yes. Each card links the company's own website or enquiry page; ask for a written quote that lists what the price includes and the cancellation terms.

Do these companies all sell the same thing?

No. Some arrange charter on other operators' aircraft, some fly their own fleet, some sell jet cards, memberships, fractional shares, empty legs or single seats. Each card says what the company sells, so compare the cards before you ask for quotes.

Who actually flies the aircraft when I book through a broker?

An operator that holds its own operating certificate (FAA Part 135 in the United States, an air operator certificate in Europe and the UK). Ask the company for the operator's name and certificate before you pay.

Which of these have the most Google reviews?

Silverhawk Aviation, Great Flight and Icarus Jet, in that order. A count says how many people reviewed a company, not whether it fits your trip; each card gives the rating and count, read 10 November 2026.

Which of these publish their cancellation terms?
