Actually, in my experience, that's highly unlikely.

As others have suggested, do your homework. See what they have that works better for you and call US. I suspect they will work with you get a flight schedule that's closer to your original booking -- especially if you provide them with a specific suggestion that appeals to you.

If they don't have a good option, take a refund and buy elsewhere. You still have time to make something work.
