Booked both ANA + JAL First Class for April 2027 (JFK <> HND)
Feeling like I should buy a lottery ticket!!
I had alerts set, but never found anything, so I kept a browser tab open and refreshed the alert sites randomly throughout the day for weeks.
Got lucky and one morning spotted JFK > HND ANA First Class in early April 2027 for 110k Aeroplan points + $57 USD - transferred Amex points and immediately booked it.
Then kept refreshing for a return flight, and a few days later found HND > JFK for late April for 135k Asia Miles + $427 USD - called Cathay, had them put the flight on hold for 48 hours - Cap1 points transferred within 4 hours, and called back to confirm.
I've never done heroin before, but I'm pretty sure this is what the high feels like 😂
None of my friends appreciate how insane this is, so needed to celebrate with all of you!!
