Another nested ticket question (but back to front this time)
Hi
Hope you can help me on this one. There have been a lot of previous threads about what and what does not constitite nested ticketing, but none I can find that answers my specific question.
It seems to be generally accepted that
AAA->BBB (Thurs)
is OK to do without falling foul of the rules about circumventing minimum stay (ie Sat nigtht) requirements.
My question is whether the following is OK:
AAA->BBB (Thurs)
BBB and CCC are not part of a city pair, but about 300 miles apart.
The AAA<->BBB and the AAA<->CCC flights would be on the same airline; the repositioning between BBB and CCC would be on a different airline (and a different alliance).
