Thank you for this update. If I read it correctly, you moved your outbound sfo-hkg leg a day earlier and kept the existing hkg-sgn leg. You were accommodated in business to Hong Kong, but helped the airline out by downgrading your hkg-sgn leg to economy even though it was still the original date/flight as they needed the seat for some reason?
Furthermore, they had no reason to help you other than you asked nicely. Your flight wasn't cancelled like some of the others, correct?

My recommendation, request for an Extra Leg room Seat at the same time of your request in Economy. Still don't know if they will offer lounge access with an Economy ticket.
