Just be honest and say you're in it for the miles.
Oh, and please if it does come to that, the main thing is to be considerate of the fact that a whole lot of people will need to be rebooked and that most of them really *do* need to get to specific places. I'm not saying you have to declare trip in vain, but if there's a hundred people behind you in line and you're busy badgering a gate agent to get routed to MCO via DEN, IAH, CLE, KMZ and BOG then... uhh, don't.
