That is helpful to know. I guess a CO flight won't help me then.

No worries, most of us at the TS/S forum do it all the time when we need gate access and there is no cooperative airline club.
Any Y-class fare will do right?

Yeah that would be ideal, but the problem is I won't know in advance if they'll have that available to them. They are flying on a standby ticket (my uncle is an ex-employee of another *A carrier, so they get a massive discount if they standby), which means it's not something I can pre-arrange. They may be able to arrange it at the airport for them.
