Is it only cash bookings, or with status, or in Club or F that this is available?

Hadn’t realised it’s UK time. That means the further East or West you go, harder to do?

As if East more of the local day (say, SIN say, 9 hrs ahead of GMT) is gone before 0001 GMT ticks over, so fewer flights departing locally same day to switch to?

And if West, you could theoretically call up, say, 8 hrs ahead, ie yesterday if in California (8hrs ahead, say), to switch flights to a different one today? But could you only switch in that case to a flight departing before 1600 PST local time, as would the new flight have to depart before midnight GMT so as to be same day?

Thinking this does not make sense, but could merit some exploration.
