Learned something new today... Hubby and I are on flight 547 YYZ-LAS tomorrow. This has a stop in ORD. Tried to go standby on earlier flights with the same routing, but different flight numbers between the originating and connecting flights. Was told by the 1K desk that since there is just one coupon, cannot go standby, even with the exact same routing. The reason we wanted to do this is because first appeared more likely on the earlier flights. We are waitlisted.

I did not know this , so guess that there are others that do not, so wanted to share the info with my fellow FTers.

Oh well... No biggie. Get to sleep a bit longer in the morning.

Also, the 1K desk told me that they no longer see where we stand on the waitlist because a 1K member was told that they were first on the waitlist and when they called the upgrades at the gate he was not called and apparently he punched a gate agent. WOW

So, they took away access to the phone agents to see the standings on the waitlist.

I wonder if that was Mr Pillows!!!!! But isn't he GS, not 1K???
