Is the correct time to attempt a SDS, before departure of the first segment (and perhaps even 30 minutes before
that)? I have a two segment trip where I might want to change the second to an earlier frequency, day-of.
The
WN webpage on the topic has a blurb in the FAQ that says:
You may need to speak with a Customer Service Agent to be added to the same-day standby list for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:- You are attempting to add yourself to the same-day standby list less than 30 minutes prior to your desired flight’s scheduled departure.
- Your desired itinerary change may result in a collection or refund of taxes and fees.
- You are traveling on an international itinerary.
- Your desired itinerary change will result in a different connection city than your confirmed itinerary.
- You are attempting to add yourself to the same-day standby list in your connection city.
- You are trying to list for a flight later than your original flight.
Keep in mind that group bookings and Unaccompanied Minors are not eligible for same-day standby.
This sounds like I should add myself to the standby list of the desired second segment, before even departing on the first. I assume the app wouldn't allow it until day-of?
