I'm Exec Plat and when I got to the airport if the other flight I wanted was open they would put me on that flight, either just confirm me on it if it was the next flight out, or put me on standby.

Thanks. Anyone know will I get same benefits with no status at BA or AA

Has anyone tried to go standby on a later flight then booked on same day? Was it allowed?

You can, but it might take persistence.

Isn't there a $75 fee?

IME if you want a guaranteed seat you have to pay $75 but for standby they usually will do it for free. So you are both correct

They gave me a seat on the later flight for free. Earlier flight was full so they put me standby. Could be they didn't have to but they did

Ergel · « **Reply #450 on:** May 10, 2013, 02:00:30 PM »

However to get on a flight the next day is more complicated

good luck

When are the tickets for? Might be easier to just cancel them and rebook the tickets assuming the dates are still available.

I am a rookie and want to learn more about using miles for flying. Currently, I have 100K of British Avios, 90K of Ultimate rewards, (from Chase Saphirre), and 100K of AA miles.

Can someone please link articles or discussions in the forums, so I can learn how to best use my miles.

One of my q's is which miles I should use to fly domestically (from NY to LA or Chicago) and which I should use for international flights (from NY to Israel.). This has definitely been discussed ad nauseam, but unfortunately I cannot locate it in a clear and concise manner.

I tried searching...

Thanks and sorry for the ignorance.

If I have an aa card my understanding is that I can get free baggage with a mileage ticket from ba.com

My question is, if I book 2 tickets for myself and a friend on ba.com (same itinerary) with miles, and add my aa number in, will both of us get free bags (like normal) or just me?
