if this was CX ticketed they might be willing to do it. Yours they would need to coordinate with AA

AM Redemption Tix - Flight Change at Airport Several Days Earlier?
I don't know if this is the appropriate thread to ask but seems this is the most relevant one for the question.
I am planning to spend 2-3 weeks in Europe and just checked the earliest available flight from HKG to LHR is on 25th Dec (redemption J ticket). While I had some experience trying for a go show in HKG years ago, those were SDC but not days before departure. Are there any recent DPs that anyone being allowed or denied a go-show for a flight several days ahead of the original flight? I have heard AM tix can attempt a go-show whenever the desired flight still has empty seats but that was years ago.
Assuming no status with CX, departing in HKG and tix is issued by AM.

Does it mean it is doable with a change fee (i.e. 50 USD according to AM rules) at the airport?

Yes, change fees will apply. This is a textbook case of a flight change.

My best options are 251/ 255 on 20/12 then 257/ 239 on 21/12. The previous pair is still selling D fare, and the latter pair is selling I fare. I checked the award availability for several weeks and found no availability for LHR flights until 25/12, so I guess CS may not be helpful in this situation until the very last moment before departure.

Original date is 25 because there is no business award space in 20-21 at the time I have the ticket issued. There are several options (mostly AY/ BA) popping up before, but I thought stay with CX may be easier if I want to move to an earlier flight or have some chances for a last-minute ticket.

I’m booked on an award flight through BA from HKT-HKG in Business. The flight gets into HKG at 11pm and would be great if I could get the earlier flight and enjoy an evening out in Hong Kong. Assume that appropriate award space would need to be released to make any change? Flight is mid Jan.

Actually, I asked at CX's check-in counters PVG last week. The station manager on duty told me that, as long as my ticket is "Economy Flex", they can allow me (**as a DM member**) to board any HKG-PVG on the same day. Of course, I cannot show up later than my original flight in the first place.
