When things get back to normal and loads are high again, one morning disruption can cascade throughout the day. Even well planned standby travel can go to **** in a hurry. These tickets are the lowest of priority. Flexibility and patience is key and be prepared to split up if that’s what it takes.
Yep, traveling standby essentially ruins a vacation for me. I don’t want to worry about if I’m getting on the flight. I’m happier to pay for the ticket and not have the stress.
I had Pass benefits at my lass job and it was normal for a flight to go from wide open to oversold without warning.
