Why the price drops

A client pays for a one-way charter from Toronto to Ottawa. The aircraft still has to fly home. Rather than fly it empty, the operator sells that return flight for a fraction of the charter price.

The date is set by the operator
It follows the original booking, so it suits trips that can move by a day.
You book the whole aircraft
The price is for the jet, not a seat. Bring your own group.
It can change
If the original trip moves, the leg moves too. We always offer a full charter alternative.
