Why standby haha

Why standby. If it's for business, confirm that shit and expense it. The business disruption of not making the flight out to your client site is probably more than the cost to confirm your flight.

So.... the gate agent only looked at my standby ticket and said the flight was full and wouldn't give me the time of day. So I confirmed with him again after everyone had boarded and he said he couldn't help me until they finished the paperwork to get the flight out so I went to the lounge to get put on the list for the 5:30pm flight which was oversold. I called Delta to see what my options were and the woman was like, "ummm, I show you confirmed with a seat on the 11am, did it already leave?" So she got me onto a 1 o'clock at Midway and I'm confirmed on it on my phone. What a punk gate agent.

Confused. Just pay for whatever you need to get there on site on time.

You know it D2.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
