This Thursday, Flying on BA but booked through AA and have a AA ticket. I'd like to standby same day an earlier flight. AA says I can make the change at the airport. BA says I can't but AA should be able to do it on the day by calling AA.
Does anyone have experience with this? i have AA platinum status if that matters.
SDS only works on AA operated flights (but doesn't have to be AA marketed, only operated). I'm not aware of any mechanism to standby for an earlier BA flight, unless BA itself allows it. See
