What happens on the occasional instance when they get caught out with this...which surely must happen every now and then
More often they seem to over book flights these days.
I have been in that situation a good few times and in the case of Aer Lingus the answer is no, they don't have a standby system.
If you get to the airport early they will change you the difference between what you paid for your ticket and what the listed cost of the earlier flight is.
If you have bought a ticket for the 6pm flight, there is no incentive for an airline to allow you to change to the 3pm flight for free unless it suits them ( maybe they know the 6pm flight is overbooked).
Almost all airlines including Aer Lingus DO have a standby system. Unfortunately it's only for their staff, relatives of staff, Caras (friends of staff) and other airline staff members.
I missed a flight with Ryanair a few months back and when I went to their desk they offered to give me the last seat on the next flight which was due to fly out a few hours later but may I hasten to add it cost me a hefty penalty/ fee of €110
