Interesting question as to who issued the tickets, and it says on each ticket "Issued By US Airways". However, the carrier on the return flights is "Airtran Airways". Travelocity is listed as the "Issuing Agent". The 4 days per leg is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on standby. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
