Mira's trip was inspired by finding $80 direct flights to Japan using "Rule 1" of the JGOOT Way of travel
(no points required!).
She upgraded that flight to first-class using points,
and ended up visiting 6 countries,
taking 7 business/first-class flights,
stayed 24 nights in 4 & 5-star resorts,
rented cars (at post-covid rates)
and spent $6200 for a luxury vacation worth over $64,000
