How to list for standby on Azores Airlines

Bookings, rebookings, refunds and listings are handled only in myIDTravel.

  1. Buy your e-ticket in myIDTravel. This creates your listing automatically: you don't need to do anything else.
  2. Once your payment is validated, an itinerary receipt is emailed to you.

You can't hold a standby listing and a confirmed ticket on the same flight. Don't hold a seat with a confirmed revenue ticket in order to swap it for a ZED standby ticket later.

Visas and travel documents

Getting your passport, visa, ESTA, eTA or vaccination certificates, and checking that they are valid, is up to you before the trip starts. Azores Airlines isn't responsible for missing or invalid documents. Any fine S4 or SP receives because of them is charged to the traveler or passed on to the staff member (ID passenger).

  • If you book international connecting flights, check the visa rules for every transfer point on your trip.

On a trip with several flights, Azores Airlines tries to check you through to your final destination. But as a PAD (Passenger Available for Disembark) you may be offloaded or asked to get off at a connection point if the seat is needed for a revenue passenger. In that case you may need a new ticket and a stopover, which you arrange yourself.

Once you've been accepted, be at the boarding gate by the time printed on your boarding pass.

Dress code

Dress smart casual, in a way that suits the cabin you're eligible for. Sportswear, beachwear and other very casual clothes aren't accepted in any cabin. If your outfit isn't appropriate, you may be refused travel.
