In practice, how does the standby work? In my case, I am trying to change YUL-LGA-MIA-PLS to YUL-MIA-PLS. If I get on the YUL-MIA leg, I will have to go on standby again for the MIA-PLS segment in MIA (earlier flight than my originally confirmed flight) rather than confirmed at YUL?

This is for same day standby rather than the same day confirmed change fee.

Thanks.

Yes, you will need to stand by again at MIA. Stand by are handled at the airport as you get close to departure. Rarely you will get to clear standby on another location, but it has happened.
