So, I booked a flight from MSY to DTW with a connection in ATL.

Now the wife is coming along with me, and I'm booking her ticket with miles.

My exact flight is 50Kmiles but its 25 K miles if we leave on the same outbound but she takes an earlier connection.

My ATL to DTW flight is on a 77L and it's mostly empty.

So Im thinking of booking the 25K miles ticket and letting her "oops" miss her connection, and then get rebooked on my flight.


Thoughts???
