Self-made millionaire says you can easily fly business class for less money
A millionaire has opened up about jetting off on luxury holidays – and there are some tricks he uses to keep costs down.
Dan Legg, 22, from Somerset, made his millions through foreign exchange trading which is also known as Forex.
Now, he’s an old hand at flying on holiday to exotic places and even moved to Dubai in 2021.
Flight attendants have shared the easy ways to get free upgrades on flights, but Dan has some clever tricks of his own.
The Cheddar man has picked up great tips for bagging luxury experiences for less including getting a private jet for half price.
Dan revealed that he looks into “empty leg flights” when travelling to save money on private transport.
Empty Leg Flights
This is where private jets have a charter booked from a certain destination, and they often travel to that booked destination empty.
You can book a seat on the flight and nab a private return flight for 50% less.
Dan claims to have caught empty leg flights to Menorca, Paris and Jersey, and paid half the price of what it would ordinarily cost.
He noted some brokers even sell empty seats on a private flight in order to fill the plane, giving you the luxury experience for a fraction of the price.
Dan said: "It's especially good if you're travelling to somewhere like the south of France, where they have jets in and out all the time – so they're easy to find."
You can use Just Jet to find the flights, but be aware that they will still be more expensive than regular airlines as you’re paying for the private experience.
And, all food and drink will be included in the cost too.

Last minute deals
Dan claims that booking flights and hotels can get you the best deals as you can save around 30% if you book within 48 hours of your arrival date.
The millionaire claims he’s never had an issue with availability too.
If you want to fly business class or first class then Dan also recommends asking to upgrade at the check in desk.
Often they will give you a seat for a cheaper price as they want to fill the section.
Dan said: "One example of this is flying between Dubai and the UK which I do a lot. I have always paid an extra £550 to upgrade to business class with Emirates, although it's not open information on the website."
