Thank you all for your feedback! That´s greatly appreciated!

The reason why I plan to purchase a ticket to CGK is that it seems to be amongst the if not the cheapest destination from CAI if you want to fly in either C or F. There´s really no other reason for me to go there.

Given your opinions on Jakarta itself, I will cut the stay there short. I would arrive at CGK at 5.40pm and will then head straight to the hotel. I would love to start the return flight the following evening, with a long stopover in SIN (see below). However, I guess that regardless of the negative sentiment towards JKT, I should rest one day before embarking on my return flight, even if it would be only a short hop from CGK to SIN. Well, not 100% about this "I need to rest part" but it seems most reasonable to me, for now.

Based on your feedback and what I was told by a friend, I have updated the itinerary as follows:

22.04.2011 LHR - FRA - CAI - FRA - CGK
23.04.2011 5.40pm, arriving at CGK
24.04.2011 CGK
25.04.2011 CGK - SIN (dep 7pm)
26.04.2011 SIN
27.04.2011 SIN
28.04.2011 SIN - BKK (AirAsia??)
29.04.2011 BKK
30.04.2011 BKK
01.05.2011 BKK - SIN - Fra - CAI - Fra - LHR
02.05.2011 Arriving at LHR at 10.xx pm

So, I gave up the idea of going to KUL and opted (so far) for BKK instead. Hope this makes sense.

Again, thank you all for providing your thoughts and comments. It´s always great to hear other people´s opinions.

Cheers and best
