Am I screwed here?? Booked wrong flights!

Hello,

I've never posted on the Delta forum, so, hello to you all.

I made a major, MAJOR mistake, and I'm afraid at this point that there's nothing I can do...

My childhood best friend is getting married on July 25th and 26th in Destin, FL.

My mother, sister, and girlfriend are going with me.

Back on June 30th, I booked all three tickets to the wedding via Delta. My mother and sister are flying round trip from LAS-FLL.

Yes, that's FLL. A 10 hour drive from the wedding in Miramar Beach. I booked the wrong airport. My girlfriend is also on the return flight from FLL to LAS. Everyone arrives on July 24th and leaves on July 27th.

I just realized this mistake today. I tried calling Delta, and though one agent agreed to wave the $150 change fees, the fare difference is somewhere like $600/ticket.

What can I do at this point?? I hate to have to call my mother and tell her that she's out the originally paid $650 for her and my sister's flights, and by the way, they're useless now...

I feel so sick to my stomach. I realize I made the error, but I wish Delta would show a little mercy. At least give me a voucher for a future flight or something...

Any ideas or help?
