Perhaps you have been on a plane when there was not one seat to spare? At other times you have flown on a plane that seemed less than half full!  Most airlines are very happy to see their planes average close to 80% occupancy.  BUT airlines hate those empty seats; they are the ultimate perishable item! They cannot be sold once the aircraft leaves the ground!

That is where Fly Standby comes in.  We contract with various airlines and buy up “empty” seats to sell to you.  Because planes will continue to fly with empty seats we can usually meet your travel needs.  In a nutshell, we will get you a seat at a good price! (presently only between major centres in South Africa).
