One way repositioning flights on this route, exactly as the operators list them. Prices are the operator's own, not a marked up quote, and you enquire with them directly.
London to Nice empty legs show up with days of notice, not weeks. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, London to Nice and Nice to London, and send you nothing else.
An empty leg exists because of a flight someone else already paid for. A jet flies a client from Nice to London, then has to get back, or it has to reach London to start the next charter. That return or repositioning flight is empty, the operator is paying for it either way, so it goes on their site at a fraction of the normal charter price. London to Nice is one of the routes where this happens often, because the traffic between the two is heavy and rarely balanced in both directions.
The practical trade is simple. You give up control of the date and often the exact time, and in exchange you fly private for a lot less. If your plans are firm to the hour, a normal charter quote is the honest answer. If you can move by a day, this page is worth checking regularly.
Every flight below is pulled from the operator's own page, with the aircraft, seat count and price as they publish it. Where an operator does not publish a price we say so instead of inventing a number. When you enquire, you talk to the operator, not to a broker adding a margin.
Check three things with the operator: whether the departure time can still shift, what happens if the paid leg that created this empty leg is cancelled, and which airport you are actually flying into. London means Luton, Stansted, Farnborough or Biggin Hill depending on the aircraft, and Nice is usually Cote d'Azur, a short drive from Monaco and Cannes.
Usually days, sometimes two or three weeks. The operator only knows a leg is empty once the paid flight around it is confirmed, which is why the list changes daily and why an alert beats a bookmark.
Sometimes. An operator repositioning to Nice may agree to depart from a different London airport, or to drop you at Cannes Mandelieu. It costs nothing to ask when you enquire.
