Flying Standby to Japan mid July
Would it be difficult? I am a solo traveler. First time using this standby system. I'm an actual employee of a company so i'm not doing the buddy pass. I believe it puts me in a better priority based on research.
I'm flying from Toronto to Narita if anyone is curious. I have 1 stop in Calgary. With AC
My main question is would this seem rough with it being middle of summer?

It sounds like you have a confirmed ticket for YYZ-YYC-NRT. What exactly are you hoping to stand by on? There's only one flight per day from YYC to NRT.

Of course, the usual risks of employee standby travel always apply. And discussing actual load data on FT as someone with access is a sure-fire way to attract negative attention of AC's security people. But anecdotal experiences can be useful.
