After bp scanning, you could simply give him your bp and take his. Really that simple. (No one is checking IDs on the plane.) If anyone did ask him, he could simply tell him the truth... you switched with him. I highly doubt anyone will inquire or care.
If you ask there is a (remote) chance they say no and you will not be able to do such a generous switch.
same last name, should be easy to switch with him after you scan through boarding. Board with him and then switch.
Bless you for treating him.
