Standby on Codeshare?
Hi,
I'm booked on QF (carrier) but ticketed as AA from Sydney to Melbourne at 10pm.
The Syd to Mel route is like a bus service running every hour non-peak and half hour peak.
The Plat desk says I can go standby with no fee since its ticketed as AA and I'm a plat. Can anyone confirm they've done this type of change before?
Thx.

This would be subject to Qantas' policy, so you should ask in the Qantas forum.

Why do you think that AA Plat gives you published special privileges to standby on QF?

AA's policies on free standby (that elites may standby for free on AA domestic flights) doesn't matter to the OP's question. AA status will be irrelevant to the question of free standby on QF domestic flights. If status is relevant, then maybe QF would recognize your Oneworld status.
It matters not that you'll find very few (or perhaps zero) AA Platinums to answer the question. The OP should ring QF and ask if it's possible to standby for free on a QF domestic flight, and should add that they're Oneworld Saphire in case that matters.
I doubt there are any AA phone agents who could accurately answer that question. QF agents, on the other hand, should be competent to answer the free standby question.

The AA desk is incorrect
Your ability to take an earlier flight will be based on whether the ticket allows it
Status does not provide for free changes nor does standby even exist in Australia . If permitted to go earlier, then will be booked onto it and confirmed
If you are booked on the 22:00 departure and wish to take an earlier one, contact AA and rebook onto an earlier one

Errrr. Sorry but your all wrong ... kind off. Yes, I couldn't go standby since QF doesn't do standby. However, status does matter and they put me on the 8pm flight instead of the 10pm flight. Yeah Qantas!
