Clauses of purpose

Is it correct to use can/will or could/would in the following examples?
Can we assume that in most examples will and can and would and could are interchangeable?

Please help me I can"t find it in any grammar book, all the explanations are not clear enough.

1. Emma has booked a first class ticket so that she can/will travel in comfort.
2. He recorded the match so that he could.would watch it later.

No. 'can' with the present tense, and 'could' with the past tense, is usually the best paraphrase.
