An empty-leg flight, which is also known as legals, deadhead, or ferry flights in the aviation lingo, is substantially cheaper compared to the prices of normal flights. An empty-leg flight comes about when an aircraft has dropped passengers, let’s say, in Malindi and has to return to Nairobi to carry passengers who had chartered it. Instead of flying back empty with full fuel, operators may decide to sell out the tickets at discounted prices.

When it comes to an empty-leg flight, there are no fixed prices. The ticket prices are determined based on the type of aircraft, route, timing, airport charges, and how fast the operator needs to reposition the aircraft. As interesting as it appears to be, you need to be really flexible with your time to find it practical and worthwhile.
