You have a good memory.
I did take the cheaper option although it seems a bit silly that if they have seats available that they wouldn't just change it. After all the cost of both flights would be the same and all they are really doing is moving someone from one flight to another and freeing up a seat for the later flight.
Or am I missing something?
