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?

I had to fly to a work conference recently and when I checked in for my flight they told me that I didn’t have a seat and that they had put me on standby. The lady at the ticket counter told me that I should go to the gate and that MAYBE I’d get a seat. If not they’d put me on a flight in the next few days. I was fucking pissed. I didn’t book some kind of “standby” ticket or anything like that. I bought a regular ticket expecting that they would transport me from point A to point B at or around the agreed upon time, and I had a work thing I had to get to. They ended up calling me up as the plane was boarding and gave me a ticket in the back by the lavatory, but it was a stressful hour and a half or so as I called every customer service number I could find only to have people tell me that there was nothing they could do.
TLDR: fuck you Frontier Airlines
