I was given the standard depart management card for the standby flight and a boarding pass for my original flight. There were seats available on the flight I wanted to stand by for. Did I do this wrong? I didn't want to call in and once I got to the airport it cleared easily. But I was just curious why I couldn't do this at check-in on line.
