I am wondering if anyone knows FOR SURE.

Can I standby for an earlier flight (as a 1K)? What about a change fee?

Does it matter if it's Int'l or Domestic? Int'l rules used to prohibit change of routing, but was overlooked at the gate.

How about to secure an upgrade. This was my last chance strategy to help the upgrade ratio. Please tell me we are not bound too tightly?


I'm asking here, because as I fly, many employees are very confused about this. On 3 occasions lately, 2 employees debate in front of me. Of course the one with the more restrictive interpretation usually wins.
