Welcome back to the show! Today, Pam and Jess are excited to share their incredible adventures in Scotland. Scotland holds a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to share the scoop with you!

Let's start with Pam's journey. It was a nail-biter as she narrowly caught her flight to Edinburgh after dealing with a delayed positioning flight from Denver to Newark. But the icing on the cake? She scored Air France business class seats for just 58K Amex points, thanks to a fantastic transfer bonus. Talk about getting luxury for less!

Now, let's dive into Jess's success. On their first Scottish adventure, her family of 6 used a whopping 360,000 United miles, flying from Houston to Chicago and finally landing in the enchanting city of Edinburgh. On their second trip, they took advantage of the Singapore fifth freedom flight, scoring direct flights from Houston to Manchester for just 25,000 miles per person each way. A fantastic deal for a family of six!

Despite our different stories, Scotland captured our hearts with its stunning beauty and left us with treasured memories. And the best part? We accomplished it all without breaking the bank, thanks to our award travel skills.
