If you nest the ticket with the ticket of another airline, there is nothing anybody can do against it, anyways.
hmmm.. sometimes its possible that the airline can know that there was a nested ticket but its rare for this to happen and I am not aware of any case..
For eg..
In Schengen countries, business/tourist visas for non Eu nationals normally have a max stay period of 90 days per 180 days.. so if someone travels to schengen region on airline 1, leave say 20 days later in airline 2, comes back to schengen area after few months utiliying return ticket of airline 2 and then when he plans to return after that trip utilising his return ticket portion of airline 1, the check-in agent
may see the immi stamps on his pp and become curious.. but like i said, i dont know of any case this has actually happenned..
