I use the old fashioned acukwik and that modern thing called email.... combined with a world wide edition of flitestar its easy. I can have Delhi to London booked in about 3 hrs, the other way Delhi to Tokyo its even quicker .
Give it a try as others have said International planning and permitting is really not hard! I am lazy though and get overflights through local handlers. If I had AFTN access I could get the overflights myself, apart from some where you need local access, but now I have the local contacts for those weird countries that need a local to go and file the permit application its easy and cheap(ie $25 per overflight for Myanmar vs $175 via Jeppesen!!). The acukwik can give you all the info you need.
As an example of the costs, when I started Jeppesen charged us $18 000 to go Delhi to Shanghai. Now I do it myself, and its $5700 !! with 4 days on the ground in Shanghai !!
