- Art Basel Miami Beach in early December is one of the busiest weeks of the year for private flights into South Florida.

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.
