If you don't need to be in Seattle that early, do a Same Day change and sleep in. There really aren't any bad seats on an E175 if you get downgraded to Main and it is short flight anyway. If you are on an award coming off BA LHR-YVR you are still eligible to do a SDC. I would happily fly in Main on a later departure. With GE, pre-clearance will be a snap but security can be slow even if the priority lane is open.

Same day flight changes
