Which raises another question I dealing with right now, I am on the 6pm to AKL-CHC, and all flights for today full. I would like to standby on the 4pm but ANZ does not allow airport standby without giving up your confirmed seat on alter flight
i dont get this, as if there is an empty seat which I could take, and free up a seat on the later flight which they could sell, they lose $$
Surely this could be a benefit for Elites on flexi tickets?
The solution is to check in for the flight booked, and let the friendly lounge staff know you wouldn't mind switching to the earlier flight. If a seat comes free they come find me or if busy page me to collect the new boarding pass.
