Flying Standby with a red eye the connection the next morning
I am booked on the 10/29 red eye to from SFO to IAD then connecting on to CLT the next morning from IAD. It turns out I may need to get there sooner then planned. Does anyone know if I could fly standby on the first departure on 10/29 and be able to connect to CLT on 10/29 or would I have to wait until 10/30 since the flight occurs on different dates thus the same day stand-by would not apply.
Thanks

It is my understanding that the rules say you would have to wait till the next day.
You may be able to find an agent willing to bend the rules, however. Just ask nicely--especially at IAD.
