IF your wife eventually wanted to fly from SFO-PDX, she could try SDC'ing the second leg every day to move it later so that she could take it days later when she needs it. This depends on fare class and availability, but I've SDC'd a LAX-SFO segment successfully for 6 days until I wanted to take it.
Just remember to not check any bags that your wife wants in SFO as they will go all the way to PDX.
Go Cardinals!

I doubt the GA would charge an add/collect but who knows? Anything's possible. I agree it's safer to say nothing (although it will be a little odd when half the party no shows).
In this case they can likely check a bag since OP is going all the way to PDX.

Good point. Wonder if UA would waive for *G as a courtesy? (And yes, I know that's not the policy. Everyone seems to snipe over hypotheticals these days!)
