Wait at least 24 hours and then cancel -- you get a FFC good for a year (in the name of the booking passenger).

Thanks so much! For some reason I thought that was no longer a viable option.Its close to $800. I was little confused on which way to book.. However I see your edit and that makes this much clearer now. Appreciate it!
