Robin,
Thanks, I called and found out the following for the 2pm flight..
Change fee $200
Additional charge for "new" V fare $122
So, since we can't leave in the morning, it would cost us $322 to arrive about 3 hours earlier. Not worth it....
I will keep on checking to see if it changes, if not, I will go the standby route if there are some seats available.
Thanks again for all your help.
Mary
