I am therefore contacting the local offices in the city of departure to make my reservations. There is no point in dealing with anyone else. Even my friend in Jakarta could not get the Jakarta office to price a ticket SIN-CGK-DPS-JOG-SIN!
According to expertflyer, there are very interesting fares to do that, but so far no-one I've talked to or that my friend has talked to has been able to price it for me.
I think you're best off buying a SIN-CGK-SIN and then buying domestic sectors separately from within Indonesia. I am fully aware of your troubles as a friend of mine in Indonesia struggles with them all the time. And yes, they do charge ridiculously more for domestic sectors if you buy the ticket outside of ID. Good luck and I'd love to hear how your experience went!
