Hi. Flight operated by LAN? Fare class is T?

I did the exact same thing in April - LAN flight between LIM and CUZ and then CUZ to LIM both ticketed by AA. The ticket wasn't really the issue - LAN told me that they don't offer standby anymore. However, on both I was able to standby for other flights. On outbound LIM to CUZ, I had a connecting itinerary with a long layover and was able to get on an earlier connection. The return was on a 5pm CUZ-LIM flight (that's the only thing they made available to AA), so I showed up at the airport around noon and was able to standby for an earlier flight as well. So long story short, the official answer is No, however, if the checkin agents are unwilling to do it, go through Security and ask at the gate - they should be able to help you there. Good Luck!

Thanks, but I will have a suitcase that I doubt I can go through security, as it would have to be checked in. So what happens to checked in luggage if I go on an earlier flight LIM > CUZ?.

Just ask at check in, should be no problem. At LIM should be smooth. At CUZ they may have to get a supervisor sign off.
