My problem is that I want to get to Seattle earlier to this itinerary
AA 3913 7:05 to 8:05
AA 1843 8:35 to 11:10
Usually I'll CFC and get a sticker upgrade along with it and no deal with probability. But this change I want is under MCT. Therefore if I standby both sectors, but only to get to ORD and go over the 4hr connecting window, will this cause a fare break and invalidate my fare?
I would prefer to get a sticker upgrade on ORD-SEA sector, so I'll keep a close eye on EF about the flights and the weather too.
The fare basis is Q14ADNR
Thanks for all the help!
As in the previous posts, these are 2 separate standby events.
If there is room, go for it. Also, in most cases CFC is a waste of money for an EXP, especially on an early flight, when there is a smaller chance of an irrop on another flight filling up seats at the last minute. As you have noted, you aren't going to be able to CFC for both flights due to MCT.
