Q fare standby?
Booked early AM flight in Q. Can I attempt to fly standby later in the day? Thanks!

It's wholly dependent on the specific fare rules -- there is no rule that says that all fares in a particular class are eligible for standby, or what the parameters are for that particular standby request.
(Were I a betting man, I'd venture that standbys later in the day would be allowed -- assuming that this is a domestic Q fare we're talking about -- but it's ultimately up to the specific rules for that fare.)

it is well documented that you can stand by for an earlier domestic flight without paying a fee ==on same day only. period. not a later flight.

I missed a flight due to a prolonged meeting. I was informed that there is no such thing as stand by for a later flight - if you miss you flight - you need a good explanation and nice disposition (along with a great reason - traffic/car/flat tire) to get a BP - otherwise, they might suggest you purchase a ticket to fly...
