Why it works

Most standby trips don’t fail because there aren’t enough seats.

They fail because travellers don’t have a clear plan when things change.

This planner helps you make calm, confident decisions before you’re under pressure at the airport.

Whether the answer is to keep waiting, reroute, overnight or buy confirmed tickets, you’ll already know your next move.

Created by someone who actually uses staff travel

Designed by an airline pilot and frequent standby traveller, this planner is built from real-world experience, not theory.

Every page is designed to reduce stress, improve decision-making and make family standby travel more enjoyable.
