I need to fly NY-Atlanta this wednesday, February 4th. I wanted to use my BA/Avios points. The only available flight was on AA, at 1:30 arriving at 4pm. I really want to go on the 10am flight. I purchased the tickets, knowing that I have 24 hrs to cancel. I was hoping that they'll release more seats. Should they not release more seats, would AA allow me to go on standby on the 10am flight, if I have an award ticket for 1:30pm?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
ps. I'm new at this, and I'm not a frequent flyer!
