As a plat, will they give me a standby for free or will they make me pay? This is still somewhat confusing to me.
You can ask starting at 5pm the day prior to your scheduled departure (within 24 hours of the originally ticketed departure). At any point after that you can ask at a counter, call in or go through the OLCI process to see if the earlier flight is available.
As a platinum you would get the SDC for free.
