standby on connection segment
I have to be in Minneapolis next Sunday for a family event. If I would fly to LA on Friday night/Saturday morning (from Chicago), then return on a red-eye early Sunday morning with a connection in MSP, would they allow me to get off the LAX-MSP flight, and then fly standby on a MSP-CHI flight later in the day? ... b/c if I add the MSP stopover, the price of the ticket is significantly higher than a CHI-LAX fare.
If it matters, I would only have carry-on bags.
Thanks if anyone has any advice!
