standby for earlier flight on AA award tix
I hold a AA award tix from YYZ-JFK-HKG with an overnight stay in JFK.
My reservation is on CX831 from JFK-HKG. I'd like to get on the earlier flight CX841 hence, the overnight in JFK instead of same-day connection. I'm assuming that my baggage will be check through to HKG upon check in at YYZ since my layover is less than 24 hours. If so, perhaps I should travel without checked bag to optimize my chance of getting on the earlier flight. |
I'm not sure you can do standby as an AA Award. Surprisingly my parents did it with KA J PEK-HKG on my AA miles earlier this month. But officially, I don't think you can, you can however change for free though whenever the inventory opens provided your routing stays the same. So keep an eye on CX award booking engine.
