Frequently Asked Questions

Are empty leg flights in Costa Rica always cheaper?

While empty leg flights are generally cheaper than traditional private jet travel, prices can still vary depending on factors like aircraft type, route, and demand. For example, a one-way flight from San José to Puerto Viejo might cost around $2,000-$4,000, while a round-trip journey from Liberia to Tamarindo could range from $3,500-$6,000.

Can I choose the exact departure time?

While empty leg flights have fixed schedules, some operators may offer flexibility in terms of last-minute changes or negotiations. This is especially true for popular routes with high demand, where operators might be willing to accommodate passenger needs to fill their aircraft.

How far in advance should I book an empty leg flight?

The ideal booking timeline for empty leg flights in Costa Rica depends on the route and season. As a general rule of thumb, aim to book at least 14-21 days in advance to secure the best deals. However, during peak travel seasons (December-April), it's not uncommon for popular routes to sell out quickly – so be sure to plan ahead!

Are empty leg flights eco-friendly?

When compared to traditional private jet travel, empty leg flights can have a significantly reduced environmental impact. By re-routing an already-scheduled flight, you're essentially filling a void that would have existed anyway. This makes empty leg flights an attractive option for environmentally conscious travelers who still want to enjoy the luxury of private aviation.
