Mr. X.
We simply called the airline and cancelled without a charge any hassle at all. My wife flies every week so I'm not sure if her status had something to do with it. When I said we needed to change flights she knew right away we wouldnt be charged.....whereas I was expecting the $150 per ticket. I'm quite grateful we were not.

FYI...thie tickets prices went up and down a few times since I booked. They havent gone quite as low as when I booked but almost. The prices have been low for the last few days and today they went back up. In looking at the seat availability....the flight is almost full so I expect the prices to stay on the higher end.
