Flying on AC ticket # (014) yvr-tpe-hkg. Land in TPE at 1615 connecting to cx473 at 1840. Can I connect to an earlier flight? no checked bags and on a business class ticket.
Thanks in advance.

Your connection however is only 25 minutes - that's already quite short? And the TPE CX lounge is pretty good actually

Haven't done it at the transfer desk but I do this almost weekly when I check-in and so far no fees. Worth a try - but again otherwise, TPE not a bad place to wait

This inconsistent policy drives me crazy. I'm at the gate, I have no bags, the flight has empty seats, and yet, I must pay a rebooking fee? I can understand wanting to save a few empty seats for last minute full fare passengers, but by the time boarding starts, why not fill up the plane? Is Passenger Load Factor not a performance metric for Cathay like it is for other airlines? Why wouldn't they want more available seats for a flight later in the day?
I often get the feeling that AI has already taken over this company and nearly everything behind the scenes is being done by robots. Unfortunately, the firmware is stuck in the 1990s and is unable to upgrade.
Rant over.

A bit of rant too...I was booked on a HKG/PVG flight a few weeks ago and it was changed from A321 to A320 which means no personal tv in Y. I went to the ticketing desk at Wing F and asked if I could change to another flight as there were at least 3 leaving at around the same time (1 was delayed and another is 15min after my booking). The lady told me there were seats available on other flights but I must pay the rebooking fee. Very very annoyed.
Another time I was booked in I transiting in HKG between LHR and PVG. The LHR flight arrived early so again I went to Wing F and asked if I could change. And they insisted on the rebooking fee.
