I think this question was asked 10 years ago here, but I’m wondering if things have changed. I know AS allows elite members to change the flight to another nearby airport after checking in.
You can't change the origin airport. If there is no flight delay, they are not supposed to allow you to change the destination airport.

I wish such changes were allowed, given how thin the schedules have become relative to pre-pandemic.
