How can I get two separate receipts when booking two flight tickets online?

Accepted answer

If you book two passengers in one booking, you'll always get a single receipt. Now, to answer points 1 and 2 you raise: the prices is going to be higher only if no more seats are available at the same price. Many online flight search sites DO give a notification of the number of seats left at a particular price if they're running low. For instance, Kayak has a small icon showing this, next to where they show the icon for 'red-eye' flights.

Seating is often not allocated during the booking process, but rather during the check-in process, so this question is moot when booking. Even if it allows you to choose seats during booking (perhaps as a paid add-on to your ticket or if you're higher up in the frequent flyer tier), you can always choose later on during check-in where you want to sit. Finding seats together is usually a bigger problem for large groups, not couples. And if you want to ensure it, choose seats during web check-in rather than leaving it for airport check-in.

Or you could just edit your receipt like SigueSigueBen suggests.

When you buy a ticket online, the receipt is usually just an HTML file that is displayed on screen and sent to the email address you provided. You can save either of those files to disk, open it in a text editor and remove the line listing your wife's ticket (might be more than one line in the source file) and then change the total sale price to the amount for just your ticket. You might need to change the total in more than a single place, but you ought to be able to make the modifications necessary in no more than a few minutes. Open it back up in a web browser and print.
