- @mrs.karnesandme are leaving Scotland this morning. This has been one of the BEST trips we have ever been on and it is very hard to think that it is over. To say I (Mrs. Karnes) is sad to go would be an under statement!
After arriving at the Edinburgh Airport (EDI) in plenty of time, security decided to keep me for an extended time because the hand sanitizer clipped to the outside of my bags. In the United States I have NEVER had one problem with hand sanitizer not being in a small clear bag but in Scotland it's a different story. So after 30 long minutes and a small plastic bag later, they finally let me through. Lesson learned!
After finally making it through security, we headed to the lounge. I had done a little research and the Aspire lounge looked good and was located near our gate. When we got to the lounge we found that it was closed. Not a great start to an already sad day. Well, after a few minutes online searching Lounge Buddy, we found that a brand new Plaza Premium Lounge had just opened and our American Express card got us in!
This lounge is AMAZING! I am so glad the other lounge was closed! The lounge features a stylish gin bar, a collaboration with Edinburgh Gin, an award winning premium gin distillery in the heart of Scotland's capital city, who have created three exclusive gin cocktails for Plaza Premium lounge guests. The lounge is also Scottish themed with traditional tartans, local woods and local artwork. There were so many places to sit and so many seating option's you are sure to find on to suit your needs. There were places to sit and work, places to sit and watch airplanes land and take off and even places for children to play and burn off a little energy.
The food was served buffet style with many choices both hot and cold. The food was fresh and they seemed to change it out often. We were here for breakfast and did not go away hungry. If gin is not your drink of choice, they had so many other options!
The bathrooms were large and clean. There were plenty of them as well.
One feature that was different in this lounge was the option of a private conference room. This room would be great for any group and the room can be reserved!
This lounge is beautiful, has plenty of seating, food and drinks and a designated spot for children to play and relax! If you are flying out of Edinburgh near gate 13 be sure and check this brand new Plaza Premium Lounge out!
To soon it was time to go. We did get a few extra minutes in Scotland because our plane was delayed.
We flew home on a Boeing 757-200 in the Polaris Business Class. Our seats were lay flat seats so this was so nice on our way home. I was able to sleep about three hours. The Polaris Business Class seats have Sax Fifth Avenue bedding and it is super comfy!
Several episodes of Chopped, two meals and a few hours of sleep later, we landed back in the United States at Chicago O'Hare Airport (ORD). We have Global Entry so going through customs was super easy. "Me" was very happy to see that our bags had made their way from Edinburgh. We used Apple Air Tags in our luggage so we were able to track them. We headed to the United Lounge to wait for our flight and start our journey back in the states.
We flew from Chicago (ORD) to St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL). Our flight was quick and uneventful. The best news is that we arrived back home safely with all of our bags and so many wonderful memories and stories of our adventures in Scotland!
I might be biased because this trip was for me to learn more about my family, but I thought it was one of our best adventures yet! I loved EVERY minute! I would go back and do it again and again! Scotland will ALWAYS have such a special place in my heart!
Thank you for watching our channel. We are honored to have you as part of our CZcams family! See you next week!
Cheers!
Update: We have purchased tickets and will VERY soon be off on another International Adventure! See you soon!
Slainte Mhath!

The lounge looked amazing! Glad you had a good trip home. I’m guessing your going to England next! I’m sure where ever it is, you two will have a great time! ❤ Thanks for taking us along!
Miss D, thank you for watching. We are very happy to share our travels with wonderful folks, such as yourself. We’ve got some American adventures coming up on the next few videos, and an international trip in about 30 days. England is a great guess, we’re going to keep you in suspense just a bit longer 😀
Looks like a good flight.
It was a good flight and an excellent way to conclude our trip to Scotland. Thanks for watching!
This should be a therapy video for travellers. Chilled, pretty and entertaining, what's not to like. I did get an unexpected home truth whilst viewng however, that being I only live several miles from Edinburgh airport and I didn't recognise the place. I realised I have not been there for over twenty years and it's on my doorstep. Glad you had a safe trip home and those seats on the plane did look very nice. Keep living the good one folks.
Pepe, your local airport was clean, functional, and I can highly recommend the Seaside Gin. We’ve got a few American adventures to detail over the next few weeks, and we’d be interested in your perspective from “across the pond”. A bucket list international trip awaits us in less than 30 days, so our “good life” will continue through our travels. As always, thanks for watching!
Glad you guys had a safe flight back.
You posted some terrific videos of your adventures.
My wife and I are heading to Edinburgh and then around parts of Ireland for a few weeks coming up soon and will be hitting many of the places in you two did.
What was the issue with liquids at the Edinburgh airport? I will definitely be bringing back several bottles of scotch and Irish whiskey so any insight would be appreciated
We are so glad you’re about to embark on your own adventure. Any liquids, even small containers under 3 oz have to be separated in a clear bag. Mrs Karnes carries a small container of hand sanitizer clipped to her travel bag. I believe this is the same throughout all of Europe, I would check with the local version of TSA before bringing bottles through security. They may want you to check them.
We're not ready for you to leave Scotland!
However, we're excited to hear about your next international adventure. 😃
We did so enjoy our time in Scotland. We’ve got a couple of American videos coming up next, and another bucket list international trip very soon! As always, thank you for watching and for your kind comment.
Not quite sure how I stumbled across your video but I’m so glad I did, I fly out out of Edinburgh a couple of times a year and wasn’t aware of this new lounge, I’m definitely going to book it for my next trip and am looking forward to the peace and quiet with a wee Edinburgh Gin, sláinte and haste ye back 🏴🥰
We are also glad that you found our channel. The lounge is wonderful and hope you enjoy it on your next set of travels. We hope you subscribe for more travel info and and adventures.
