Q: Given a travel related situation, and given a specific question about the situation, summarize the question into a title
Several websites tell me that "nobody" will let you fly "standby" except as a change to a fare already bought.  Is there anyone that will still sell a cheap "next unsold seat" fare?

I'm retired and have no problem hanging out an an airport for a few days to save money.  But it's not saving if it's regular plus change fee.

A:
Does anyone still offer standby without already having paid another fare?
