I've been able to do it easily on JAL flights, they have a "standby checkin desk" that allows you to pick your flight, you're even given priority with your OW status. Super efficient, but I would expect nothing less from a Japanese carrier.

Not the end of the world if not, i'm connecting thru DFW and my if my flight is early, I'd like to hop on an earlier flight, if not, more lounge time is not going to kill me.
