I'm very interested to hear the other side of this as all I've heard was negatives and I end up paying (at least) empty leg pricing as a minimum.
Saw a deal pop up for the next morning on KLAS to KPDX; called up a date to ask if she was up for a day-trip. Booked SFO-LAS / PDX-SFO on UA and went to the airport 10min later. First thing next morning, got over to the FBO, flew to PDX with a fantastic crew, Uber'd to town, spent the day and flew back in the evening. Was a fun mid-week 24h adventure. The flight itself was smooth, quick, in a comfy modern plane with a fully stocked minibar. Crew was friendly. No security / airport shenanigans was a huge plus.
