I have a flight to LV tonight at 6:25pm. My mom is meeting me at the train station a lot earlier than anticipated so we may be able to get to the airport at 3pm for the 4pm flight if everything is on time.
I am Plat. Pro.
Here are my questions:
Is it my best bet to wait to SDC for when I get to the airport?
She wants to check a bag, how does that work with stand-by?
I have not checked in for our original flight yet. Does it matter if I do?
There are currently plenty of 1st class seats available on the 4pm. Can I be put on the upgrade list and the standby list?
What happens if I put our names on standby now, but my Mom's train is late and we can't make the 4pm flight?
Thanks for the last minute help.

UPDATE: Train was on time and we made it to airport an decided to go directly to the gate. I checked in online at 130 and put us on the stand by list.
Got to the gate at 310 asked about being put on the upgrade list. There were 5 open seats and no one else on the upgrade list. Was told it couldn’t be done. You can only be on one list. Even after I was given our coach seats, she could not put me on the upgrade list. Fantastic. I love AA.
