Might be a dumb question, but this is my first MR.
Is it possible to stop over in all the cities on an itinerary? Sort of like a way to get a cheaper round the world ticket?
For example fly LAX-DFW-HKG, stay in HKG for 7 nights, then fly HKG-CGK, stay in CGK for 7 nights, then fly CGK-HKG-DFW, stay in DFW 7 nights etc.
If so how would you go about booking that?

You'd do it like you'd do any other fare.–.multi city search with specific dates. But good luck finding something in the same price range.

Depends on the fare rules for the particular fare. If stopovers are allowed per fare rules, you can do this. Sometimes they are free, sometimes they cost extra.

Then switch to multi city and manually break up the AAA-BBB and BBB-ZZZ and search with the same dates that you just found to make sure it's working, then start changing the BBB-ZZZ date to see if you can find an allowed date for the same price or for the minimum stopover cost.

LAX-HKG
HKG-CGK
CGK-DFW
DFW-LAX
Be warned though that the HKG-CGK segment won't show the AA code share on CX operated flight. However, you can force AA.COM to show all OW and AA flights by selecting the "American Airlines, American Eagle and oneworld" option.
I hope this will help.

It took me two tries on the phone to get an agent that knew how to build it - but once the proper codes were entered, it priced accordingly.
Curious if anyone is heading out the same time I am? 3/27 on over....

Can you share your routing and final price? Best I'm able to find is $714 departing 3/23 from LAX returning 3/29. LAX-DFW-HKG-BKK // CGK-NRT-DFW-LAX. Not a bad Spring Break trip.

Just got back from this MR
From 11:30pm 3 March - to 11:00am 7 March
LAX-JFK-NRT-SIN-CGK-NRT-LAX
57,366 RDP (double points except for LAX/JFK and NRT-SIN), 15,348 EQP, $1643 (includes $70 Jetstar flight from SIN/CGK, V class on return to boost EQP, and one night at RC Jakarta); $.0286 CPM
Did the mileage run as part of EXP Challenge. I fulfil EXP requirements (25K EQP) next week.
Highlights/Lowlights - Upgraded to first class on new AA A321 from LAX to JFK, flew brand new (great flight!) JAL 787 from JFK-NRT, JAL First Class Lounge at NRT including shower, massage, noodle and sushi bar (I could totally vacation in that lounge), passed the time away on flights watching House of Cards from beginning to end (almost), and now totally addicted to the show, Flew a pig of an AA 777 on the return to LAX. That old 777 was the lousiest looking first and business i've ever seen. I had bulkhead economy with no one next to me. Food was terrible; hardly edible. Happy to never have to do a MR again. ^

Just to nit pick - CPM is usually quoted in terms of EQM and not RDM. For LAX-JFK-NRT-SIN-CGK-NRT-LAX you got 22161 EQM, right? So 7.41 CPM.
