Yes, that’s the only downside. I’ve had to switch flights a few times and don’t always get to fly standby (had to buy a ticket once when I made the first flight, but got bumped from multiple of the second flight), but it’s a fun experience that I really enjoy.

I hope you have the opportunity to fly somewhere. It’s such a great experience and being able to see different parts of the world is amazing. There are so many incredible things out there.

haha. It really was a thoughtful little gift. He does cute stuff like that for me from time to time and it always makes me smile.

It can be really stressful flying standby. I did it over Christmas and ended up having to buy a ticket in LA because all the standby flights out of there were overbooked. It can be nice, but also not so nice when it doesn’t work out. In a way, it’s helping me learn how to manage my anxiety in different ways. haha
