Which is what I am about to do.
I have a flight from EWR-TPA in November, and the schedule change was between 10 and 13 minutes arrival/departure.
Our original arrival time was 9:49 PM, and it was changed to 9:59 PM. The second agent I spoke to moved us to a much earlier flight, now we are arriving at 1:48 PM. Since we are driving to Walt Disney World after we land, this is much better for us.
Our original flight was (and continues to be) the least expensive flight of the day, which is why we originally willing to arrive that late. All things considered, this is working out well for us. We were able to pay the price of the later flight, but now we have the convenience of traveling on the earlier flight. A win-win.
