Sorry I can't help but please don't call it memory... you're talking about storage, not RAM.

If your Macbook Air has an SD slot, you could get a NiftyDrive and a few 64gb MicroSDs for considerably less than it will cost to replace the internal SSD:

Apple do not provide any service for upgrading internal SSDs are far as I am aware, specially not the Macbook Air, its regarded as non-upgradable

Macsales.com is about the only viable option i saw when i was looking into it for a client a while back; was around £250 to get a 240GB drive delivered (inc import duty/tax).

Edit - they also do a kit that includes and external aluminium usb bay for the original SSD drive.

THink there is a thread on macroumers.com where people have done this and moved thier media onto it. Some seem to work fine but others break when you cut off the USB part.
