Yes, airlines may place you on an earlier departure when seats open, though fare rules, airport timing, and staff decisions still shape the result. You booked one flight. Then plans changed.

Yes, expedited screening can apply on many overseas trips that leave a U.S. airport, though customs lines and airline participation still matter.

Yes, inflatable footrests are often allowed during the flight if they stay in your seat area and the crew says they do not block anyone. Inflatable footrests look harmless.
