Today as I go to see the options the day before my flight to ord (I have a 3 p.m. and want a 9 a.m.) I see under 'options" i have the option of getting put on the waiting list for the next day's earlier flight.
I'm guessing that even if i'm first on that waiting list, anyone who pays the $25 4 hours before the 9.am. flight will have priority over me.
Do I understand that right?
Then a second question. I'm traveling on the Memorial Day weekend and United is telling me tonight the flights are overbooked and they aren't going to have any $25 options tomorrow morning (though my check of class availability shows h1 or h2 showing for some morning flights). If i check in on line and do the optional standby, I have trouble believing they are going to put me in front of the people they overbooked, even if I'm first on the standby list. Are they?
