I might have heard this
in passing, from friends and co-travelers but never really pursued the option
further, until it almost became a necessity (or not, depends on how you see
it).
Flying Standby...well
lets just say, we weren't "regulars" if you catch my drift.
Infact, much less, we had never exercised that option before. For some of you
who are constant business travelers, this might be the norm. To us, it was
a sweet deal that made total sense to go for.
Anyways, in short, we
were lucky to get seats on an earlier flight to SFO...and because we were
flying across 3 time-zones, it played to our advantage (one-way). Gave us
almost 3 bonus hours to spend time with family and friends.
Our red-eye return trip
was horrid...and believe me, time zone or not..you are zombied out when you get
home. You understand 'jet-lag' more in this case, than if you were to fly
half-way across the world!
Back to our California
Calling topic....read on...we did a lot in 3 days and enjoyed ourselves
thoroughly.
