Please, I know this might sound ridiculous to some of you, but just let me be ridiculous this once.

Plan: Buy myself a refundable ticket on Southwest which will allow me to enter the terminal and meet her right at the gate. Go to my flight's gate and cancel (or, would another method of cancellation be better?), I'll just tell them "something came up". I don't care if the refund is super-quick, it won't be a very expensive flight. I'd even be willing to eat a low-price fare (like $74 to SNA) if I couldn't get it refunded.

Any problem with this plan?
yes there are problems with this plan...mainly you are making the whole thing more complicated than it needs be. But I will not tell the process for how simple it is with never having to speak to the airline; though the process was covered in a news article months ago.
