For some reason they where only able to put me in Y (I had upgraded the original flight) but the GA was able to switch it back to J, which incidentally was not full with 3 empty seats.

Good luck finding someone at LGA knowing what to do.

I think OP is flying YYZ-LGA, so it should be done at YYZ.

I did it once for a YYZ-YUL at the check-in counter, and the agent was very quick. I was on a confirmed upgrade. When boarding was about to start for the earlier flight, I went to the gate, and the agent called my name and gave me a new BP for J. It was a pretty smooth experience
