Worked for me as well.

No secret to using Qantas points. We had almost a million Qantas points that we had used to book JAL first and Biz class flights to Japan for a 2020 trip that got cancelled to due to Covid. Have worked them down to under 500k by using them to book BA flights to and from London/Scotland. You just...

Replying to myself to add three super easy and worthwhile DIY trips from Edinburgh via train that I would recommend: Taking the train to Stirling to tour Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument Taking the train to South Queensferry to explore the very cute town and do a cruise on the Firth of...

In terms of travel to and from, we live in Boise, ID, so we always need to reposition. Our most frequent routes are a seasonal route on United from BOI thru ORD to EDI and BA through LHR to EDI. The United route seems to be a summer seasonal flight. Lately, we've been taking BA almost...

Hi. Frequent Edinburgh visitor here and have also visited other parts of Scotland. Since it sounds like your trip will be fairly short, you probably need to decide whether you want to cover a lot of ground without staying long in each place, or just go to one or two places and cover those more...

I definitely had some delivery issues with my giffgaff sim on my last trip. Had ordered both to my home in the states and to our flat in Edinburgh to cover bases (and in case the U.S. one didn’t arrive in time). Despite confirms that they had been shipped and should arrive in a couple of days...

I should clarify that we are the seller, so we are fine with DVC exercising its ROFR. We were very surprised though….

I'm seeing Six in London on Sept. 13. Can't wait!!

Check that. Looks like it has been consistent since March 15 of this year. I thought DH had started shopping at Fred Meyer earlier, but that is when he started.

It‘s been at least 6 months now,,,,

Fred Meyer consisternly codes as grocery for the 6% on my BCP.

I bought them as well with the Dell credit and love them too!

Different area, but we find very limited acceptance of Amex at restaurants and merchants in Scotland.

I’m going to defer to @CaliforniaGirl09 on that one because she spends far more time in London, whereas I’m mostly in Edinburgh. Awesome on the suite upgrade!

Please report back on your Jacobite Steam Train and Alnwick Castle excursions. Those are two we haven't done yet.

With URs, your best bet is likely to transfer to United for flights out of ORD or to British Airways to book BA or AA flights (hub is DFW if you can do a repositioning flight, but I believe they also have some flights out of ORD). I’m in Scotland now and used BA Avios to book my business class...

Just a quick update. I happened to walk by the Sheraton today and just wanted to make you aware that the Van Gogh Alive exhibit is set up right in front of the hotel. The entire courtyard area in front of the hotel on the Lothian Road is filled with tents for the exhibit. Not sure if that...

We don’t, at least for now. My daughter is a student at the University of Edinburgh, and she lives in the flat.

Not Calypso, but we own a flat in Edinburgh, and I’m actually sitting in the Boise airport waiting for my first flight to take me to Edinburgh now. My take is that if the Sheraton is getting reviewed as dated, and there aren’t any suites left, based on location, I would switch to the Glasshouse.
