There is exactly one seat left on this flight (regional jet).
Will AA allow me to standby for the flight the earlier day (technically standby for an earlier connection that happens to be on a previous day)?
Regional jets are notorious for weight restrictions...will this play into their decision.
Would you gamble or pay $400+ for a one way one hour flight?
AA will not let you stand by on a previous day flight. I don't know of any exceptions.
However, you can change the itinerary on an award ticket at any time, so I'd call AA to see if you can get confirmed on the earlier flight. Probably not since there's only one open seat, but it's worth a try.
