Therefore, I fly PHL-IAH-SEA on one PNR.

Switch to another PNR to do the MR, ending up back in SEA at around 8ish, and then take the red-eye to EWR and then on to PHL on the original PNR.


Is that a nested or back-back ticket? Not purchased to circumvent any fare rules, just to position myself to do the MR from SEA.
SBM12 is quite correct. Another way to look at it is you go to SEA for business on a RT ticket, while there you make another trip for business, come back to SEA and then return home. It makes me wonder though y about this situation. You fly somewhere on a RT ticket, let's say EWR-ORD. You expect to spend 2 weeks in Chicago on business. While there (or maybe even before you left), you find you need to return to NYC for a few days for an important meeting or two, so you book a ORD-EWR RT nested inside the other trip. Obviously, a classic nested trip, but what choice do you have except choose another carrier, and CO asks you to make CO your airline of choice?
