This is such a great feature to have a thread where people will answer direct questions. I was encouraged in another thread to post my question here:
I am on a bmi reservation that has a UA segment starting in the US. Can I standby for an earlier flight on the domestic portion of the ticket? It gives me more time for the connection, and the current flight Im on is oversold (cant take the bump this time or I would miss the connection). Flight I want to get on is at 8am and current flight I have is at noon. Dont want to head to the airport so early if theyre going to turn me away. No luggage to check either. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
