DTW-MCO fare went down...MCO-DTW went up...

...can we get a credit if only one segment went down?

We booked our tickets on AirTran yesterday. We bought 9 tickets at $92/$92 (depart/return). Then, since there was only one ticket on the departing flight left at $92, we ended up getting our next "batch" of 6 tickets at $115/$92.

Today, I went to the AirTran website and now I see that I can get 6 tickets for $92/$115. So, I'm wondering... can we get a credit for the departing fare that dropped? That would get us a credit of $138 which would cover 2 of our planned upgrades. Or do they look at the total fare for the itinerary? In this case, the current total cost would be the same since the return went up to $115.

You can get a credit for just one leg. I did that on mine a few weeks back when there was a sale. Our trip down dropped from $90 to $65, while the return trip had jumped from $90 to $110. Used some of the refund to purchase our seats both ways and will use the rest for bag fees (and will still have a little leftover.)
