If I booked a delta flight @ 12pm with points and I only have silver status, what are the chances I can get on the earlier flight at 10am if I go early for standby if the flight has 30 seats left?

In my experience, you have a good chance

They’ll charge for this if you’re silver, even if you go up to the gate agent. Source: did this today at EWR, gate agent was dead set on $75 fee but checked and it’s free for gold and up. Have done this on United with no status and they didn’t charge so idk why delta does it

like

Already tried calling and they said it’d be an extra 40k points + $150

Just ask to be put on standby instead of changing your flight. That should be at most the $50 standby fee that they only collect if you get a seat. I think only gold and up get that waived.

Seems like a pretty good chance. If your route is hub->hub, it can get iffy - especially if on a travel day.

be there early and just approach the agent a bit before boarding. They could care less and this has worked for me (caveat: United and AA)
