funny observation from the other night in Boston.
I checked before heading to Logan to see if there were seats on the flight, and there were.
The line was extra long at the counter so I asked one of the employees if I can go on standby at the gate, and they advised "sure!"
So I breezed through security, went up to the gate and was told that there were too many people on standby already ahead of me, and no seats were available.
Oh well... unfortunately my flight boarded on time but immediately the captain announced that we will be pushing back an hour and fifteen minutes late because of the weather in NY.... kinda made me wish I made that standby flight.
