So I'm checkin on a very full MIA-FCO tomorrow. MIA-JFK in code A and JFK-FCO in J.
I called to see what I need to do to standby for the morning flight which is wide open, plenty of seats in both first and coach. I'm willing to fly either just to get me up there earlier and not worry about my connection.
They are telling me, even though I have status, (and so in online checkin) that with my coded ticket I cannot standby. They said I can go to the airport and maybe they can do something but not expect them to be able to put me on the earlier flight even with empty seats. But did say the airports have different accesses to be able to do thing. But he blamed it on that my ticket is a thru ticket I'm not changing the JFK to FCO at all. So whats the big deal?
Do you think I should show up at the airport early or not?
