Some last minute changes to work is causing me to consider the following trip
already started itinerary
XXX - Home
Home - XXX
new itinerary inserted into the first
YYY - Home
Home - YYY
I know that if XXX=YYY this would be back-to-back ticketing or nesting of same city pairs which is not allowed. If XXX and YYY were in different parts of the country, I should be fine but in my case the two cities are less than 150 miles apart. Will United have a problem with this?

I'm curious to the answer to this. Can you simply use an alternate airport to leverage this?
e.g.,
SFO-JFK (Ticket 1, Coupon 1)
EWR-SFO (Ticket 2, Coupon 1)
SFO-EWR (Ticket 2, Coupon 2)
JFK-SFO (Ticket 1, Coupon 2)
or if you want to be even "cleaner" about it,
SFO-JFK (Ticket 1, Coupon 1)
EWR-OAK (Ticket 2, Coupon 1)
OAK-EWR (Ticket 2, Coupon 2)
JFK-SFO (Ticket 1, Coupon 2)
Of course the cleanest approach would be to use two carriers. With the US-UA parternship, you get one UA ticket and one US ticket and it's very clean.
