YYZ: 8.5 Hour Layover Question - Can I Travel on Earlier Flight?
Hope this is the right place to ask this...
In June 2015 I have an 8.5 hour layover in Toronto, and recently a flight just became available that would allow me just a 2 hour layover instead. However, I have already purchased my tickets. I was considering paying the 400/person change fee, but was wondering if it were possible to request an earlier flight once I'm actually at the airport - is that something airlines will typically do? If so, do I stand a chance in hell of actually getting placed onto an earlier flight? The flight in question is on Air Canada. Thanks for your help!

Yes, for the same day change fee, which is $75 or something and will place you in the cabin if there's space available.
I think. Does Tango allow for SDC?
