Regarding standby without repricing, I doubt that an a CX check-in agent at KHH would allow it without a good reason.
Thanks for your reply! Regarding your second comment, I thought free standby is part of the benefits of a Flex ticket. If I cannot standby for an earlier flight without changing the ticket, why is this listed as a benefit then? The CX check-in counter at PVG allows me to take any flight earlier than my originally booked flight, as long as I hold a Flex ticket.
