Hello,
I have bought tickets for a SW flight that is supposed to depart at 6:15PM. Now I want to standby on an earlier flight (6:45AM). I would appreciate your input to the following questions:
1. Will I need to pay for changing to an earlier flight?
2. How do I find out whether I qualify for free same day standby?
3. Should I still check in for my flight at 6:15PM the day before and get to airport early to go on standby?
Thank you.
Given today’s news:
Potentially no - not sure when the roll-out takes place for the new policy or when your flight is happening.
Will depend on roll-out of the new policy and date of your flight.
Yes - under all circumstances get checked in and then after that would be when you can discuss a change whether under the new policy or as part of a more general ask at the airport. There is some leeway at the airport to grant you a new flight that may not be able to be confirmed online or by phone under the previous policy, so get your check-in completed first as usual and go from there.
