if, as you say, the same fare is available on the return where SEA-PDX is in F, you should have no problem rebooking into F on a morning flight
Thank you for the reply,
Yes, I was looking to book the SEA-BWI redeye as that is the flight that has the cheaper First Class buckets available on most days.
Flying this route on the daytime SEA-BWI flight is unfortunately, significantly more expensive.

(this would be even easier if you book your original MR as two one-ways, as the early morning return will likely be axed when the redeye goes)
Yes, I have thought about AS allowing to changing airports within the same city. I might be willing to pay for a hotel or do a turnaround at IAD where I could fly a red-eye from SEA. I might also try some creative routings to maximize Tier Points ( BA equivalent of AS EQM's ) like PDX-LAX-SEA-DCA/IAD, etc...
