How do you get a fair refund from an airline company for a lost ticket?

My wife recently "lost" her ticket before the last leg of a triangle (on
Piedmont, if it matters).  She had to buy another ticket for $200 more
(!) than that leg originally cost.  She already filled out a lost
ticket refund request.  I know it will take as much as six months to get
the refund.  She's since found the "lost" (unused) ticket.

The question is:  Do we have any leverage on the airline to get the more
expensive ticket refunded, rather than the cheaper one?  I didn't think
so...  but I had to ask anyway.  :-)

Thanks in advance,
