A young millionaire has revealed his secrets on how to jet around the world in luxury for half the price.
Dan Legg, 22, made his fortune after trying his hand at foreign exchange trading, known as forex, in 2017.
The self-made millionaire, from Cheddar, Somerset, hit his first million within two years and has continued to grow since then with a move to Dubai last year.
He also runs several businesses while enjoying a lavish life of luxury travelling the world in private jets, reports Somerset Live.
Dan has now decided to share some top money saving tips he has picked up along the way on how to get luxury experiences for less.
The seasoned traveller insists that booking last minute will get you the most value for money and has even managed to get half price deals on private jets.
"Whenever I fly around Europe, I fly private. It's the best thing ever," he said.
"There's no queues, you just drive onto the runway and get on the plane.
"A lot of people want to try it but they think it's never an option for them because of the cost, but when you travel a lot you get to know the hacks."
Dan revealed his top tips that he swears by for travelling luxury which he says are tried and tested by himself.
"His first is to look into 'empty leg flights', which are a way of experiencing a private flight with a price slash of up to 50 per cent.
Empty leg flights are where private jets have a charter booked from a certain destination, and they often travel to that booked destination empty.
Passengers can book themselves a place on one of those empty legs, or even find two that match up with their holiday dates and get a private return flight too.
Dan has caught empty leg flights to Menorca, Paris and Jersey shelling out for only half the price of what it would ordinarily cost.
He said that 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.
"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," Dan said.
The businessman uses a website called Just Jet to find his empty leg flights but flights still come at an eye-watering cost for most.
A search for flights in June showed a LearJet empty leg flight from Naples to London with full catering and an open bar for £8,500.
Nevertheless Dan's tips could bring a once in a lifetime experience a little closer to being affordable for some.
The jet setter also insisted on leaving flight and hotel bookings to the last minute in order to get the best deals.
He told how he has saved up to 30 per cent with last-minute bookings that are within 48 hours of arrival and has never faced problems with availability.
His final tip is asking to upgrade to business class at the check-in desk, where good prices will often be offered in order to fill the seats.
"One example of this is flying between Dubai and the UK which I do a lot," Dan said.
"I have always paid an extra £550 to upgrade to business class with Emirates, although it's not open information on the website."
Once again, this is no small fee for many but a discounted price all the same for those who can afford to splash the cash a little.
