Standby on AA Codeshare operated by Alaska?
Hello my friends,
I am on a flight from PDX-LAX that is a codeshare on American Airlines operated by Alaska Airlines. I was hoping that one could inform me what my options will be for standing by for an earlier flight at my point of origin, PDX. Many thanks for your help.

Since it's AS-operated, AS rules apply. You may have better luck on the AS board with this question.

Agree with the above AS rules will apply. Good luck.

Also, since AS flights earn EQM/EQP/segments, you shouldn't need to worry if the earlier flight is not an AA codeshare.

Any recent experiences with this?
Flying SEA-LAX on an AA codeshare operated by AS.
AS reservations says that the itinerary would be ineligible for a same-day confirmed flight change because, as the ticket was issued by AA, it can only be changed/reissued by AA.
(Of course, standby is no longer possible for those lacking MVP Gold status and traveling on inflexible fares.)

You could try to pay the fee at the airport, since they won't let you stand by anymore.
ETA: the second phone agent I spoke to specifically said that they can't do same day confirmed over the phone at all; you can only do it if offered at online check in, which I wasn't.

My experience (last week):
- Can't do it in advance over the phone
- $25 fee at the airport, but it's a confirmed seat
- The RULES say you can't do it at the gate (since sometime this summer), but after paying my $25, I stood by and watched a GA allow a passenger to standby for free. YMMV.
