Aeroplan Reward - Change segment from J to F when available
Flying from HND to YYZ via FRA. If I book a first class reward and the HND-FRA is in first but LH isn't showing any F availability yet for YYZ-JFK (then JFK-YOW), can I book an AC or LH J trip and if a few days out the F segment is available I can pay the $75 plus LH fees to switch to F, since I'm on an F fare anyways?

Right, if YOUR flight opens up O space, you can call and change for free.
For any AC operated flights, you can also be added to the onload list on day of departure (if it's not done automatically - that seems to be happening now under certain unknown circumstances) if it doesn't open up beforehand.

I would switch my trip to be from AC J FRA-YYZ-YOW to something like LH F from FRA-IAD or JFK and then connect J to YYZ-YOW. That would be the plan. I'm well aware that it means a likely U.S. connection, but that entails F lounge in FRA and a nicer TATL flight.
