Standby from a redeye with next day connection
I was suppose to take the redeye later tonight from LAX and connect at DTW to ORD (first flight tomorrow morning). I got an earlier flight out of LAX. The agent here at DTW told me I can't stand by on a flight to ORD today because my original flight to ORD isn't on the same day. So I had to either pay for the flight change or get stuck in DTW for 15 hours. Urrrrrgggggg!!
