That said, I would love it if we were able to stand-by on earlier flights like many airlines in USA allow. That way SK could utilise non-sold seats and overbook flights more.
Yes I can understand that - however I'll never pay the fee as I'm only travelling for leisure. SK won't make any money on us but they could have saved quite some for IDB + upgrade someone.

In fact, I was willing to depart one hour earlier to potentially avoid lot of trouble for me and the airline (which happened in this case.)
It was/is just stupid – which I afterwards told SAS a couple of times (no meaningful answers) before I claimed and got my 2x600 Euros.
Exactly - it's stupid of SK - as the earlier departure is not sold out so there's no extra cost for them to get you on the earlier flight - except finding your bags and load it on to the flight.
