Default Looking for some help or advice.

I am not sure if this is the market place for what I need but I thought I would ask.

I traveled 1 time with my family in a private plan thru a work trip.
Since then as you can understand my wife and kids never stopped talking about it. This is something we could not afford normally.

That said my wife recently overcame a large anniversary in her battle with cancer and I was trying to find a way to give my wife and kids a trip of a lifetime for the holidays. I am not looking for a hand out. However I could not pay standard rates.

I have seen and read about deeply discounted empty leg flights and have had no luck in finding anything even close to a discount.
What I am asking is does anyone know a real company that offers anything that has a real discount and or a pilot that has a plane that enjoys or needs the air time if I can afford the expense. Or any good ideas how I can get this done.

Our trip leaves CT ( I would drive to any airport on both sides of the trip, just trying to give a idea of the trip )
Going to SW Florida. Dream airports I guess would be HVN - APF
Flight dates are 12/26/16 return 1/8/17
I will take one way or rt.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks you,
Barry

question here is, what do you consider a discount, or better yet, what is your budget for R/T or just one leg? If you fly in a G650, is a price, a Phenom 300 is another. So U need to be more specific.

The plane is not important to me. price is the key. when we were on the business trip last time the plane was about 11,000 rt I was told. I did not see the bill.
based on what I was reading the empty legs were flying empty so they were very cheep. buy I have not seen a one way trip for under 7,0000

Yeah we have lots of empty repo's on the east coast. Check out the website, but just so you know they only go up day before.

Why not just get a limo and roll first class on an airline?
