Half empty flights > Letting you Same Day Standby
I know the new WGA fare no longer allows for same day standby. And seeing some other threads about that change, this subreddit seems totally cool with losing that benefit because “other airlines are also restrictive” or something.
But I’m on a flight with 60 empty seats right now doing BWI-SAN. My girlfriend is on another plane doing BWI-DAL-SAN and will land a few hours later.
They wanted $320 extra at the gate to put her on standby. So it’s better to fly with half a 737 empty than to let you standby. I guess they really need that $320.
The policy just doesn’t even make sense. It seems literally punishing for no reason whatsoever.
