The first time I heard of “standby” by a friend traveler incallito I thought was referring to the usual history of the waiting list of airlines… Instead the traditional formula “standby” related to the agency Todo World.

It works like this: you choose a geographical area, between the Caribbean, Red Sea and Indian Ocean, the number of nights, usually between one or two weeks, if only flight or holiday complete and the price is scontatissimo the final destination because you are only communicated to a week after their departure. On the site call roulette: if you choose, for example, the Caribbean destinations are available Santo Domingo, Mexico, Cuba, Honduras and Jamaica… Both evil does not go for a roulette!

Obviously the higher the proximity to the high season, the better prices. Departures are from Malpensa, navigation on the site is not immediate but it is worth trying. The friend who first I spoke is an absolute enthusiast and part at least twice a year with this formula!
