Standby for international flights
I had 2 interesting conversations with AA Plat customer service today. I was trying to see if I could book a later flight from JAX to Pos at a cheaper cost and then do same day standby for an earlier one..1st agent says yes -Show up to the airport and if there is room they will put you on.. A couple of hours later call back concerning award travel and ask the same question concerning standby and I asked if i had a revenue ticket could I go standby for an earlier flight I was told no.Then i told the CSR about my earlier conversation and she says that she is trained to say no however if i was at the airport it would be up to the check in staff to put me on the flight.. Anybody have any experience with this situation and can I standby for earlier int'l flights
