Seattle → Los Angeles

About this corridor

A Pacific coast run linking the Northwest to Southern California. Seattle to Los Angeles empty legs are common on midsize jets repositioning down the coast.

Because Seattle and Los Angeles sit on such a well-travelled lane, operators regularly need to reposition aircraft in both directions — and a repositioning flight with empty seats is exactly what becomes an empty leg. The result is a steady stream of discounted one-way flights for travellers whose dates are flexible.
