I guess all you will get from the this board is to go ahead and try to request the earlier flight. Whether it will be allowed or not is likely to depend on the agent you talk to - I doubt anyone in this forum will be able to confirm that you will be on the earlier flight.
Good luck! (I think you are going to need it with this one).
Thanks
SJ AAR! I'm happy you understand. I'll definitely give it a try, and perhaps report back (still a long time from now

) should that be of any significance to anyone, or perhaps as a data point? haha

Thanks for your input

Cheers everyone!
