We've booked our holiday but...

Yes I know that once you've booked it you're not meant to look again but I have. It was our first family holiday abroad so we paid a little more by going into a travel agent.
Now I'm a bit confused though. When we originally booked (two weeks ago) the only option we were given was to fly from Gatwick, now I see we could have flown from Stansted, Luton etc, on the same day and board basis. Also two weeks ago the luggage allowance was only 15kg and you had to pay to upgrade it (which we did) but now it's 20kg as standard.
Does it always change like this? I'm happy with the price we paid (apart from upgrading luggage) but would have liked to have been offered alternative (closer) airports. Is there anything we can do about having upgraded luggage allowance to what is now standard?
