I am wondering what will happen if I pass the passport control faster than I expected. Could I standby for an earlier flight? Will there be complementary upgrade if standby?
As MVPG you get free same day changes - you're allowed to both get confirmed same day changes if there are seats available on an earlier flight, and can fly standby if there are earlier flights without seats available. AS summarizes the options on this page.
