Ah well, the plane must hv landed by now and I am still home. Considering I went to Hyderabad on Boeing's invitation to see the plane in march on a last minute journey, I tried the plane before everyone else the livery is horrible I tell you.

We could have had a "mini-Do" in the J cabin, while the crew ate our food and talked loudly in the galley.

Does AI allows Stand-By on the earlier flight?

I have some trips booked, but flights later than the 787 ones. If the load is this low, will AI allow Stand-By passengers?
