Is the below scenario possible?
I'm on a red-eye flight from the west coast to the east coast. I connect in EWR and my connection naturally departs the next morning. If I standby for an early morning flight leaving to EWR, will I still be able to standby for an earlier flight for the connection? (even though techincally it departs the day-after)?
I hope the answer is yes....</font>
The telephone res agents will tell you "no" (I think out of laziness), but it's not clearly written anywhere. The folks at the airport will have the authority to let you standby for this option. However, make sure you tell the agent in SFO/SJC/LAX/SAN of your intentions when you check in and possibly have him/her put you on standby list for the connecting flight. You never know when you're gonna encounter a clueless agent in EWR.
