Some time ago, I covered that ANA All Nippon Airways usually allows travelers on award tickets to stand by for earlier domestic flights and sometimes even confirms them straight at the check-in counter, but that policy seems to have changed.

At least when traveling on tickets issued by partners (such as United Mileage Plus), I was told by two separate agents that ANA now no longer allows this, although on NH-coded tickets it’s still available.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on LoyaltyLobby.
