I did this for some long term contracts in the past to get the saturday night stays in. It's not nesting because you've got a 1-way, then treat your "remote" airport as your "home" airport.... flying home for the weekend over Sat Night, returning to work the following week.
Is that even necessary on this particular route to get low fares?
