Best possible price for SF to Medellín or Bogotá (Is flying standby an option?)

I'm looking for the best possible price and I've got the luxury of having an abundance of time available to work for it. I know friends who have done this thing called "flying" and gotten amazing deals on fares, but it was for domestic (US) flights.

Is it possible to fly standby for west-coast to MDE/BOG?

I am accustomed to paying $850-1000 for a round-trip to MDE from San Francisco, and I would really like to have that number closer to $500. Ideal scenario would be Sacramento/SF to MDE for +/- $500. Maybe that's impossible but I'm willing to try.

Any help is much appreciated. I'll be checking back with this thread.
