Now I am on the search for new flights and they are actually CHEAPER! yAY!
Good outcome.
Though for future reference, one thing I like to do is figure out the options before I decide how to handle it. For example, I would want to know the fares are cheaper before calling in. That way I can steer them towards cancellation. If the fares are more, then I would research what I wanted and steer them towards that before calling.
