I have read previously that US only allows either one stopover or openjaw, however my preferred route would include both. My question is a route like this possible, and if it is, do I have to keep calling CSR until they book it? This is the first time that I've tried redeeming my miles.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to ask this question. Let me know if I need to post elsewhere. Thanks!

*Correction: Air China not China Airlines
In my experience, CSRs tend to forget about the no stopover within one region rule if booking within a region they are unfamiliar with. I have even had a supervisor book me a stopover before. Of course, YMMV.

Instead of doing PVG-TPE-PVG-KWL, why don't you try PVG-TPE (stopover) - HGH-KWL (destination)-PVG?
