Thank you for this update. If I read it correctly, you moved your outbound sfo-hkg leg a day earlier and kept the existing hkg-sgn leg. You were accommodated in business to Hong Kong, but helped the airline out by downgrading your hkg-sgn leg to economy even though it was still the original date/flight as they needed the seat for some reason?
Furthermore, they had no reason to help you other than you asked nicely. Your flight wasn't cancelled like some of the others, correct?

Update. After an hr on the phone, Expedia was able to change my flight to an earlier date. I wanted to spend a day in Hong Kong so I accepted the Economy flight to SGN in exchange. My recommendation, request for an Extra Leg room Seat at the same time of your request in Economy. Still don't know if they will offer lounge access with an Economy ticket.

Did not change my HKG-SGN leg that was downgraded from Business to Economy, not a date change.
Expedia was given similar options as stated above for those affected by the class change. They had to call in to Hong Kong Airlines to get the approval code to enter in their system to make the change that I requested.
If one of your segments had a date,time, or class change, I'm fairly certain you can push for a date change within reason.

Yeah - that's too bad about iPass. The pricing otherwise is pretty atrocious. From the days when emails had no images, that might have been usable. Today, that would be gone in a flash.
My first iPhone plan after the AT&T unlimited as a 200 MB/month, I think, for comparison. But that was maybe eight years ago.
Now, browsing on a computer, 105 MB would just not go far. Just background apps catching up would eat a lot of that.

I spent 3 hours last night in a queue for live chat (number 142!) and the agent came on and refused to assign seats, said call 48 hours before. Then i read the threads here and everyone said they were calling/writing and getting seats. I tried again on live chat a bit ago. Took about 20 minutes and she got me seats for 3 of my 4 legs and said the system timed out.
I am starting to believe this is real, supposed to leave sept 5 LAX > HK --BKK and back
fingers and eyeballs crossed.

Expedia called and said my flight may have been rescheduled or cancelled and they’re looking into it.
