I have had 2 expierences with this in the last few months:

First I booked and held a ticket 14 days before travel (14 day adv), I confirmed the meeting the next day for later, so I tried to change online.... it wanted to refare (as I was now inside 14 days)by about 400.00. So I called and pled my case to an agent, who changed to the later flight (that was originally price the same as the early flight).

Second happend a few days ago (the SLC/CVG/ATL war) I held with the wrong return days (3 months later..oops), this agent wouldn't budge.
