So buying a return ticket from some county into, let's say PEK, and then a nested return ticket from PEK to some third country, would be OK, as long as the 72 hour limit is respected in both directions. I think.
So question on this idea. I am planning a 5 day RT from USA-PEK on one airline. If I book a second ticket to a third county (lets say ICN) from PEK to get a TWOV, but then don't fly it, can I stay more then 72 hrs? Or will I not have the corresponding departure stamp within T-72 so I'm screwed when I leave depart PEK at day 5?
