Side note:  you can also "fly on stand-by", which means you're the first
to go if there isn't enough room.  It's cheaper than regular tickets,
but I'm not sure by how much.  Or if you get less compensation if you
are bumped to a later flight.

I never fly on standby unless it's leisure and I don't care when I get
there. But I usually do care, so I never fly on standby. If you don't
get on, you get NO compensation. That's why it's called "standby" :-)

note that when I am traveling leisure I stay out of the way of the
business travelers and am not in a hurry.
