Why search the whole metro

An empty leg is created by where the aircraft already is, not by where you would prefer to depart from. A jet repositioning out of PIE costs the same to you as one out of TPA, and on any given day the cheaper flight is as likely to be at the quieter field. Searching one airport is how most people miss the flight they wanted. EmpTleg searches a radius by default for exactly this reason. Copilot does the same with the dates around yours: ask Copilot about Tampa & St. Petersburg.

How empty legs work

Private jets often fly empty, heading home after a drop-off, or repositioning for the next pickup. Rather than fly them empty, operators sell those flights at a deep discount. They appear fast, disappear faster, and are scattered across hundreds of operators. EmpTleg puts them in one searchable place. You contact the operator directly; we never touch the booking and never take a cut of your flight.
