You used to be able to do it on the phone back when that was an option... I haven't tried to do it via chat.

The text on their travel policies page seems clear enough. You can standby for a later flight, but if you can't get on it you're out of luck. Seems like it really should only be used as a last resort/longshot if you miss your earlier flight and the later flight is already full.
Oh fantastic, might you be able to shed a bit more light on the process? I found this webpage which covers SDS/SDC (fourth section), but there are still a few details which are unclear.
  • Are you able to change routing? For SDS they say you "must follow the originally ticketed itinerary," but for SDC they don't say anything.
  • Do most airport agents or "call center" agents seem to be familiar with the feature, or that it's complimentary for 100k? Sometimes the airport agents aren't even sure how to sell a ticket.
  • Is the travel time-frame by calendar day, or just +/- 24 hours of the scheduled departure of the first segment?
  • Is the change time-frame midnight of the same calendar day, time zone of the first segment's departure? Or just 24 hours before the ticketed departure?
  • Is it better to not check in first if you're pursuing an SDC?
Hopefully this wasn't too much, thanks for your time though.
