Standby is NOT a cheaper fare anymore. Most companies don’t even sell standby tickets anymore. The usual way to get them is to either be a dependent or employee of an airline, have a buddy pass, or to already have bought a full priced ticket and just wanting to change the day you fly. The only time you get a bargain is if you volunteered to give up your seat on an overcrowded flight and they upgraded you to first or business class when putting you on standby for the next flight. Here is how standby works though: I always call about a week ahead of the date I want to fly to check the occupancy and let them know I plan on flying on that date (many airlines like to e notified in advance when an employee or dependent plans to fly). I also call back the date of the flight to make sure it still looks okay (I don’t want to get to the airport, wait, and then be told it’s full). The day of the flight, you have to get to the airport at least an hour earlier than normal because they put your name
