I've checked some of the old standby threads in this forum and called B6 a few times, but I've gotten inconsistent answers from the CSRs. I was wondering if I could get thoughts from the experts here...

I'm ticketed on a ~5PM flight, and the flight just prior is ~3PM. I'm gonna try to go standby on the 3PM, but I also have checked luggage this time. I've been told by B6 that I can only check-in luggage 4 hours prior to schedule departure time, which is consistent with most other airlines.

My questions:
- If I go standby with luggage, do they just tag my bag with a standby tag (like some other airlines) so that they can put it on the flight if I happen to clear onto the 3PM flight?
- If I were to be on my original flight, I'd be able to check in my luggage at 1PM. Does that change if I want to standby for the 3PM flight? Can I give them my bag as early as 11AM? Or would they only take it at 1PM?
What route are you on?
