Standby flights means that someone is trying to fly without a ticket for that particular flight. Most often standby flights happen either if someone has missed their plane and want to get on a later flight, or they are at the airport early and want to get on an earlier flight. Most airlines do have specific requirements for standby flights, and they do change with each airline, so the first thing
. you need to do is check and see what the requirements are. There may also be fee's involved, often if you fly standby without a fee, you won't know if you can get on a flight until the very last minute, but if you have paid a fee, the airline will try to confirm that you can get a seat on the flight as early as possible.
