I have no status.

I know that same-day standby is available for reward tickets in J (though not sure whether a routing change such as mentioned here is possible.

The YYZ-HKG fligh current showing J=2. (yes, I know that the chances of there being a seat available on my day of departure are slim).

Assuming that a J seat on YYZ-HKG is available at time of check-in at YOW, is it possible to request a change from YYZ-YVR-HKG to YYZ-HKG?

Assuming that a J seat is available at check-in at YOW, is it feasible to make a request for a change from YYZ-YVR-HKG to YYZ-HKG, or does my checked luggage and other issues get in the way of such a request.

Thanks
They will let you change but may hit you with a $90 charge payable on the spot. The odds are really really against you getting it though as others will get upgraded way before you have the chance sorry.

BTW your best chance of success is to ask in the lounge ime.
