First to know. First to fly.
Empty leg alerts are free messages from Empty Leg Exclusive when a repositioning flight is released on a route you fly. Most empty legs are sold before they are listed anywhere public, so an alert puts you at the front of the queue: you receive the aircraft, departure time and whole-aircraft price, and a one-line reply holds the flight while you decide.

Questions about alerts
How do empty leg alerts work?
Tell us the routes you fly, in either direction, and any dates or seasons that matter. When an operator releases a matching repositioning flight we send you one message with the aircraft, time and price, and a one-line reply holds it while you decide.
Do alerts cost anything?
No. There is no fee and no membership. You pay only when you book a flight, and the price you pay is the whole-aircraft price shown on the alert.
How often will I hear from you?
One message per matching flight and nothing else. On a busy route that can be several a week in summer and none for weeks in winter.
How do I stop the alerts?
Every message includes a way to stop. Reply with the word stop, or email us, and the alert is removed the same day.
How far in advance are empty legs available?
Most appear between a few days and about two weeks before departure, because they depend on other bookings being confirmed. Some are published 24–48 hours ahead.
