Can I go to airport early and change to an earlier flight since it's an Avios booking?
This is a question for the Cathay forum. Whether or not you can change on the day at the airport will be up to CX agents at the airport. If it is in their interest (for example the flight you are currently booked on is more heavily booked) they may do it.
