so i know people buy tickets for flights on standby. they show up to the airport, get on a list and maybe get on the plane, maybe dont. i was wondering how exactly this does work. do people do this because they really need to go somwhere last minute or is it a normal way of traveling?

ive always had the most luck booking flights reasonably in advance to get the best deal. can u get good deals flying standby or is there a way to get a good deal standby? or are u basically stuck paying last minute ticket costs and paying a fortune for your flight. ive never done it myself so i was wondering how it works for people and if anyone has any experience getting good deals, or not good deals doing it.
