When to fly and what affects the price

  • Paris Fashion Week, held in the spring and the autumn, is one of the busiest times at Le Bourget.
  • The Paris Air Show at Le Bourget, held in odd-numbered years in June, affects availability at the airport.
  • Same-day returns are popular on this route, but a second flight or crew waiting time adds to the price.
  • Whether an aircraft is already near London or has to fly in first (positioning).
  • Airport, handling and parking fees, crew costs and taxes, all listed in your quote.

Save with empty legs

An empty leg is a flight an operator has to fly anyway to reposition an aircraft. If one matches your route and dates, you can fly for much less than a full charter. Mention in your request that your dates are flexible and we'll look for one.
