Priority on Standby..

Hi

Friday 2 weeks ago I missed my (last available!) connection to Belfast due to SAS late arrival.

I was fairly pleased with the way I was treated, SAS got me a hotel and bmi put me on standby for the first flight on Saturday morning.

The gentleman at gate 2 got me on the first flight ( and a business upgrade! :^) because of my silver status, but the girl (witch) beside him chirped in and said that the Y passengers should get priority. He overruled, and I got on.

For my future reference who should technically win in this case. The Priority On-Standby Silver status or the fully flexible expensive ticket?

Cheers
