I always go the night before and take the first flight out of PHL. you want to pick a early flight where paying passenger can't connect to.
The standby list for ORD-CLT has 9 people on it with 5 seats, including me and gf.
I have 4 options from home, or I'd have to go to CLT to get 3 options. Remember, I live in ORD. And the first flight leave ORD at 812am and the first flight that leaves CLT is at 930am
