My friend is a registered standby passenger with United (i am not, I'm flying roundtrip in Economy). I’m planning a trip to Copenhagen (CPH) in late August, and we’re trying to coordinate our flights so we can meet up and travel together.
To be honest, I'm really not aware of what allows someone to use the standby option. There seems to be little to no information online about it, which is weird, considering how important of an option it is for flying.
So, I just wanted to clarify:
-
What are the exact requirements to be eligible for United standby? Is there a difference between being a "registered standby passenger" and just "flying standby"?
-
Do the flights have to be “United metal,” or can you standby on codeshare flights operated by partners like Lufthansa, Air Canada, or Brussels Airlines if the flight number starts with UA?
-
Does cabin class or booking type (e.g. Basic Economy) affect standby eligibility in any way?
-
Are there any ways to check if a flight is truly United-operated vs just codeshare?
Thank you for the help :)
