Re: flights
Standby flights are not sold by airlines per se. You have to have an original ticket in the first place and then say arrive at the airport a few das early etc and the airline will transfer to a standby ticket.
It is more common place in the US domestic market than international flights.
Realistically its not going to be heaps cheaper and a pain in the royal behind to say the least unless you like living at airports.
Airfares can be reasonable, just make sure you change the dates not to include peak days, be prepared to have a relatively long connection time and shop around.
