"Is there a lead/supervisor/fairy godfather you can ask for approval/blessing/virginal sacrifice for this pitiful supplicant?"
"No, but if you show up early at YYZ, there's only 30 people on that first Airbus and they will put you on it."
I'll let you know . . . .
Odd that they didn't go for the virginal sacrifice. I thought they always waived the change fee for that. They really are getting demanding these days.
Anyway, sounds like it should work out. They're unlikely to have a cancelled flight before the 6:30, so you should get on fine.
Good luck!
