Same thing came up a while back. (might have been on redditt).
If the paid person is not flying ,they will ask for the freebie to get off the plane. In reality, they would have no idea where this person is and would have to keep asking until that person got up and got off, or they decide to check the ID of everyone on board.
Two option - one of which is not legal (term used loosely)
a) Buy another ticket for her
b) Let her go through TSA with HER boarding pass, but board the plane with YOUR boarding pass.
