How do standby tickets work? Or is there anywhere to get a good deal on flights?
I’d like to try to catch a flight from Austin, Tx to Dallas, Tx TOMORROW!
How big of a discount do you get flying standby? And how do I go about getting those tickets? What’s the chance that there will be available seats?
I didn’t know I was going to need to fly until a few hours ago.
The fare depends on the type of ticket or discount you are entitled to.Few Airlines charge as per the mile where as other just gives you the discount by just taking the taxes.
Best is to keep checking the flight load, if the flight is relatively less loaded then the chances are that you be able to make it on the flight but if the flight is over booked then the preference would be given to the commercial passengers first and you would only get the seat in-case there is any no show or last minute cancellation.
You do not save money flying standby or else everyone would do it.
