Panama City serves as first destination in Wild Card travel challenge

A traveler participating in the Wild Card challenge has begun a multi-destination journey starting in Panama City. The challenge involves traveling to specific destinations using parameters set by wild-card decks, including selected airlines, hotels, and credit cards to manage points and miles budgets.

The itinerary includes travel from the United States to Panama, with subsequent planned stops in Colombia and Melbourne, Australia. The traveler aims to fly primarily in business class and utilize various loyalty programs, such as Delta Gold Business, Amex Gold, and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, to fund the trip.

Despite facing a missed connection and limited sleep during the initial leg through Washington Dulles and San Salvador, the traveler reported a successful arrival in Panama City.
