No doubt, this is not the world’s easiest time to be standing by for a flight, or to be on a waitlist, but as with many situations, things may not be as desperate as they sound.

waitlists
You’re not a really frequent flier. Or, maybe you’re a lower level elite — i.e.: basic Delta Medallion, United Mileage Plus Premier, Advantage Gold. But, you’ve been stockpiling your miles. The miles have come from a credit card, maybe from travel, and you’ve finally gotten enough miles to upgrade two tickets to Paris, and you’re booking more than nine months in advance.

Most travel agents have probably been on both sides of this one. There’s the client who wants to sail somewhere at the last minute, or within a month or two of sailing, and the ship is sold out. And then there’s the client who has booked early, often at a super discounted rate, but would really rather now go another time. But the cancellation fees are 50 to 100 percent.
