Um, hmmm...could have waited until the window opened so as to get the proper dates. If the lower buckets sold in the meantime and you then had to pay a higher fare at the correct date, such is life.

Nothing, and you DO deserve the change fee...see above comment. Why someone would book a return ticket on the wrong date is a little ...I'm thinking I have to go to CUN for a wedding next May, so here's what I'll do: I'll book the outbound exactly 330 days out so as to get to the wedding on time on the day the inventory opens, and I'll ignore that my ride home isn't available yet. As the Guinness commercials would say, "Brilliant!"
