This was the case pre covid but has since changed. Indonesia requires visa on arrival for many countries now.

Sorry for the DFQ- I've poured over all 5 pages of this thread and can't figure out if this fare devolves into a one-way option from JFK to CGK.

I already have a BKK-SIN-EWR home booked for $1280 one-way, so I just need to get to SE Asia SOMEHOW, during the week of Feb 5th or thereabouts, and I don't need convoluted routings or forced stopovers to maximize earnings (although I would welcome them LOL). I really just need a good fare.

I have used ITA Matrix before, but everything I am getting is around $12,000 one way when I start to force routings via TYO or SYD. If I take all the controls out and just search NYC-CGK, I get $2900, which is more than what google flights is showing, too.

I would welcome any links to a matrix itinerary that works, feel free to PM me as well.

cheers,

I would love some help putting this together if it’s available for jfk-Syd on sep 16. Remaining legs would be great sometime in Jan 23 but can be any time really!

I can try but having booked a bunch of these i dont think the SYD stopover is allowed unfortunately. Also sept 16th is very near and doubt there is much I -class available (cheapest business).

Would love to get help from you or any other TA on a routing to maximize TP points if it's not a problem, perhaps around Thanksgiving.

Fortunately IIRC this fare (at least the one that goes through SYD) books into R on AA and C on QF, so there should be lots of space.

This looks like a fun do! Unfortunately I don’t NEED any more TPs until October 2023. Tempting, still though.

Can someone provide an example from Google Flights?
Do the same fares apply to start on the West Coast instead of JFK?

west coast NO, google flights yes for the easy routings - but to truly maximise you need ITA matrix or the likes - have a read through the thread

If you paste the ITA itinerary into bookwithmatrix.com, it might let you book on AA's website.
