What would happen if someone didn't go on the second leg of their flight

They will hold the plane until she shows up. So, it's rude.

Nah. They don’t care. Opens a seat for them to fill a standby flyer.

Not a problem if you don’t have checked bags people do it all of the time.

Can't see why it would. People miss flights all the time.

It may flag her on future flights as high risk.

Worst case sounds like they would charge you the current fare for just the first

If it's a round trip ticket I believe they'll cancel the return flight

Correct, they will cancel any return trip if you miss a leg

Skip Lagged is built on this idea

I use skiplagged a few times a year. It works great.

They’ll cancel the return flight, 100%.

it may cancel the rest of the itinerary for your FIL, I’m not 100% sure tho
