When you book a one-way flight, the aircraft does not always start or end at your airports. If it has to fly empty to reach your departure point or return to its home base afterward, that movement is called a deadhead or ferry leg, and the cost is sometimes reflected in the price.
Round-trip charters generally avoid this because the aircraft stays with you or returns on a paid leg. One-way trips are where repositioning is most likely to appear. Luxury Aircraft Solutions itemizes any repositioning so you understand exactly what you are paying for.
One way to avoid deadhead cost entirely is to book an empty leg, a repositioning flight another client has already paid to move. You can view current empty leg availability at luxuryaircraftsolutions.com.
