Standby travel on eligible tickets must follow the original ticketed itinerary, meaning if you were booked on a nonstop flight you cannot add a connection to the itinerary or vice versa. Same day confirmed alternate flight changes allow you to change the itinerary from a nonstop to a connection itinerary or vice-versa.
Same day confirmed alternate flight changes and standby travel on eligible tickets apply to alternate flights between your ticketed origin and destination cities. However, the following groups of airports will be considered the same city for same day confirmed and standby purposes. This means that if you are booked to fly to/from an airport in each group, you may request a same day confirmed alternate flight change or standby travel (if eligible) to fly to/from another airport in the group if there is a seat available (for the applicable fee listed above).
1. Chicago - Midway (MDW), Chicago - O'Hare (ORD), & Rockford (RFD), Illinois
2. Los Angeles (LAX) & Orange County / Santa Ana (SNA), California
3. Madison, Wisconsin (MSN) & Rockford (RFD), Illinois
4. Orlando (MCO) & Tampa (TPA), Florida
5. Provo (PVU) & Salt Lake City (SLC), Utah
Cancelled itinerary: If you no longer want to fly on the original ticket booked, you may cancel your itinerary and redeposit the miles for a $50 redeposit fee.
The name change and redeposit fees are non-refundable. They are waived for Summit members and traveling companions booked in the same reservation as the Summit member.
Remember that everyone has to play by the rules, so please refer to the
Award Ticket Terms & Conditions.
