New Orleans Destination Overview
New Orleans is the largest and most culturally diverse city in the state of Louisiana and is often referred to as "The Big Easy".
Located right on the banks of the Mississippi River, New Orleans actually sits about 30 ft. below sea level and uses the technology of levees to keep the mighty river from overflowing. Though directly hit by Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has proven its strength and durability by coming back to life, but this time bigger, newer, and stronger.
The best time to visit New Orleans is perhaps during Mardi Gras when the city's main attraction, "Burbon Street", is completely shut down to traffic and filled with millions of people looking to have a good time. This is also a city of great cuisine with a type of native food called Cajun.
There are tours of plantations, a history dating back to the 1700s, old cemeteries, great shopping, and much more to see in New Orleans.

New Orleans Empty Leg Flights
Save on Your New Orleans Private Charter Flights

It often happens that such an empty-leg flight has been paid for in part by the original flyer and is therefore offered at reduced rates. Empty legs offer price advantages with cost savings of up to 75% when compared to standard private jet travel rates.
At any given time, there may be more than 3,000 empty legs available worldwide. Once you let us know about your preferred routes and dates, we can match your air charter schedule with empty-leg charter flights available on the market.
