I Have A Ticket Flying Later In The Day. If I Finish My Business Earlier, Can I

I have a ticket flying later in the day.  If I finish my business earlier, can I try flying standby for an earlier flight in the day? Are there any charges?  On the same thought, if I ever had a flight which I miss, can I fly on the next flight if there are seats available?  Any extra costs?

Below is the Frontier Airlines policy on changing your ticket:

Frontier offers two options for same day flight changes — standby travel and same day confirmed alternate flight changes.

Frontier offers customers traveling on a Classic or Classic Plus ticket, as well as to Ascent and Summit level members of EarlyReturns®, the ability to standby for an earlier or later flight on your day of travel for no fee. Economy tickets are not eligible for standby travel. If you are eligible for standby travel, you may request to fly standby on another flight on your day of travel at the airport ticket counter or gate.

If you wish to change to an earlier or later flight on your day of travel, we can confirm a seat for you for a flat fee as long as there are seats available. You may confirm a seat on another flight at the airport ticket counter or by calling Frontier Reservations at 800-432-1FLY (1359). The fee for same day confirmed alternate flight changes varies based on the Fare Option purchased as follows:

Economy: $50
Classic: $25
Classic Plus: Free

Standby travel on eligible tickets must follow the original ticketed itinerary, meaning if you were booked on a nonstop flight you cannot add a connection to the itinerary or vice versa. Same day confirmed alternate flight changes allow you to change the itinerary from a nonstop to a connection itinerary or vice-versa.

Same day confirmed alternate flight changes and standby travel on eligible tickets apply to alternate flights between your ticketed origin and destination cities. However, the following groups of airports will be considered the same city for same day confirmed and standby purposes. This means that if you are booked to fly to/from an airport in each group, you may request a same day confirmed alternate flight change or standby travel (if eligible) to fly to/from another airport in the group if there is a seat available (for the applicable fee listed above).

1. Chicago - Midway Airport (MDW), Chicago - O'Hare Airport (ORD), & Rockford (RFD), Illionois
2. Detroit (DTW) & Flint (FNT), Michigan
3. Los Angeles (LAX) & Orange County / Santa Ana (SNA), California
4. Madison (MSN), Wisconsin, & Rockford (RFD), Illionois
5. New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) & Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
6. Orlando (MCO) & Tampa (TPA), Florida
7. Provo (PVU) & Salt Lake City (SLC), Utah

If you know you will miss a flight, contact Frontier as soon as you know you will not be boarding so that you can make alternative arrangements.
