I don’t understand how someone gets put on standby. Is there some sort of standby ticket? If so, how.. and do people really go through all the hassle of going to an airport while having a possibility of going home?

Sometimes they will say “we are oversold” and will offer you $300 to take the next flight. The other person who is taking your seat has paid $1000 for the ticket so they aren’t loosing anything.
