Quadruple nesting.
I currently have tickets that are triple nested......
(SYD-MSP r/t(FRA-SYD r/t(RTW)))
I'm now looking at a domestic US r/t. I think this is all allowed as I'm not doing this to avoid min stays etc. True?

I don't see any problems nesting a domestic MSP-XXX ticket inside your SYD-MSP ticket, itself nested inside a FRA-SYD ticket, which is nested inside an RTW... (did I get it right?).

It's allowed.
Anyway, you are a GS. I doubt they will say anything even when you tripple nest to avoid a minimum stay.

Well.
I assume you are a ready willing, able paying buyer from a willing and ready seller that seeks your $$$s in consideration for merchandice (ticket). So what is the problem?
I put my trust in the never forgiving, never forgeting coputer. If it has a problem it will block the transaction.
Besides.
If you will buy your desired ticket from a competitive airline, how would that improve the year-end P&L statement of UAUA?

Oh...and the 1:12 min connecting time in LAX (int-dom), followed by a 31min connection in DEN. I don't think cblaisd would be happy with me

I thought you only got in trouble with nesting in the same city twice, such as, say you live in SEA, and want to spend this friday and next friday in Chicago.
I think you're supposed to book like this-
SEA-ORD 4/20
ORD-SEA 4/21
and
SEA-ORD 4/27
ORD-SEA 4/28
BUt, if you luv2nest
SEA-ORD 4/20
ORD-SEA 4/28
and
ORD-SEA 4/21
SEA-ORD 4/27
Then you get in trouble, right? BUt if your eggs are in different nests, not the same pair of cities, it's OK, I think.

- You got my point correctly.
- but I was also saying that if the computer sells an itin, (nested or whatever combination), and the customer paid, then its a binding sale for both parties.
We are talking about separate tickets here. When you buy one, the system isn't going to know about all the other tickets involved.

I had a tight connection from UA to BA at LHR once. The
BA flights were so cheap, I brought both the first flight (30 min
connection) and the second flight (1 hr 30 min connection).
BA just cancelled my first seat and I had to argue to get
onto the second flight. What an airline!
