What are leisure flights?
A leisure flight is a flight that a passenger takes when they're travelling for leisure purposes. Someone who flies on a leisure flight is usually taking a holiday, seeing friends or family or exploring new destinations. This is opposed to business flights, which is the name for when a person is travelling for work or to conduct business.
These flights could be scheduled services, charter services or public charter services. They could be operated by Full-Service Carriers (FSC), Low-Cost Carriers (LCC) or charter airlines.
Are Leisure Flights scheduled flights or charter flights?
Leisure flights could be scheduled or charter flights depending on the demand for the route and the airline's decision. There is a subtle difference between scheduled or charter flights from the passengers' perspective.
Scheduled flights are operated according to the timetable that the airline set out. They are available for anyone to book the flights online and usually are not affected by the demand for the flight unless the airline deems the route to be unprofitable.
Charter flights don't have a set timetable unless it is a public charter service. A charter flight is very reliant on the demand. Charter flights can be booked for groups, corporations, sports teams, etc. As an example, TUI Airways, Jet2, Ultimate Air Shuttle, New England Airlines and Advanced Air are all offering public charter services with limited frequency.
