Oh, well. No worries. Just meant I got a free do-over when it came to picking the itinerary that best suited my fancy.

I've had this happend to me twice and both times I've completely benefited from rebooking no-change fee due to schedule changes. The first time was a flight home from Las Vegas and the flight I wanted was almost $300 more then another less desirable flight. Not knowing how well I was going to do in Vegas
, I took the cheaper flight. Long story short, a segment got cancelled on my original booking, called Delta and they glady rebooked me on the flight I really wanted in the first place!
. The other time, I quickly checked EF and the seat map and had the Delta Agent rebook me on a flight where I knew the upgrade chances looked the most promising. (Scored the upgrade.) My advice is to take these schedule changes as a blessing and not a curse!
