Booking DONE6 in Jakarta

Hi.
I am planning to book a DONE6 in Jakarta. Anyone have any experience booking it in there? Which agent you would suggest me to use?

Also I have tried to use MileageMonkey tool, did the miles I will earned there showed correctly?

If there is anything wrong in the itinerary, or there any suggestion about it. just let me know because this is going to be my first.
Thanks.

You appear to have three stopovers in Asia (continent of origin) (PEK, NRT, HKG) - you are only allowed two.

But why MileageMonkey said that it is a valid route? Is there something wrong with the tool?

The tool, whilst very helpful, is not entirely error-free. You are only allowed 2 stopovers in continent of origin.

It is not really an error of the tool:

Thanks for the responses.
But I just downloaded the Round-The-World planner from OW website and when I insert my route plan there it also said that it is a valid routings. Is there something wrong I made? or I have to remove 1 stopover from my itinerary?

The only mistake you are making is not accepting that (a) you are only allowed TWO stopovers in your continent of origin and (b) the tools are not perfect.

Yes, remove one stopover from your itinerary.

The *route* is valid. I.e. that sequence of flights is within the rules. However, MM doesn't distinguish between stopover and transit stops, and thus does not impose the additional rule that no more than two stops in the continent of origin can be actual stopovers (>24 hours). You don't have to remove the stops entirely - just have no more than two of them as stopovers.

Qantas has a decent office in Jakarta and have been proficient when I've needed to deal with ticket issues (though just regular point to points for me, no *ONE*'s). The location is decent if you're in the Jakarta city centre as well, which is a plus. I haven't dealt with Cathay Pacific in Jakarta, but I'd imagine they should be decent as well.

I have changed my route plan to this:
CGK-NRT-HKG-JNB-CPT-LHR-HEL-TXL-MAD-SCL-JFK-STL-DEN-LAX-HNL-SYD-ZQN-AKL-MEL-PER-CGK
I think this one will be valid and more comfortable with me to go.

Thanks, I will try to give them some calls.
