Just as an example: I had a BAEC award flight on Cathay Pacific (TPE - HKG).

I got in the airport a little bit early. The agent asked if I wanted to take the earlier flight. I didn't even ask (didn't even want to, as I wanted to try the new lounge).

Thank you.

That route is more or less a shuttle. The agent is likely encouraged to fill up the flight that is closest to departing.
