So I'm curious about how to go about purchasing these seats.
Do you book them both in your name, or use a made-up or slightly
different name for the second seat? Does the airline
reservation system ever reject your attempt to do this?

One used to be able to buy a second seat to carry one's
musical instrument (cello, say), but they have clamped down
on this as part of the general security panic.
