A Fresh Competition Set In Scotland
This season introduces three GTC advisors stepping into the competition for the first time: Tom Ho and brothers Michael and Steven Lieberman. Their challenge? Craft two unforgettable Scottish itineraries for celebrated Olympic figure skating duo Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir.
Cameras follow the advisors as they explore Scotland’s sweeping Highlands, refined cities and storied landscapes — all while curating experiences that reflect their distinct styles and personal travel philosophies. From rare cultural encounters to luxurious retreats, each advisor brings forward a new interpretation of what a high-end Scottish escape can look like.
Once they’ve lived both itineraries, Lipinski and Weir select the advisor whose vision most impresses them, granting the winner an ongoing relationship as their dedicated travel planner. These episodes reinforce one undeniable truth: extraordinary travel doesn’t happen by accident — it’s crafted by exceptional experts who go the extra mile.

The Lifestyle Behind Luxury Travel Advising
The new Scotland episodes offer more than a glimpse into stunning destinations — they reveal what the life of a luxury travel advisor genuinely looks like. Far beyond simply curating itineraries from behind a desk, today’s advisors are explorers, relationship-builders and cultural ambassadors whose careers are fueled by curiosity, passion and a drive to experience the world firsthand. This season highlights that reality in vivid detail:
- A private castle visit hosted by the Duke of Argyll
- A Dior spa experience aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman
- Exclusive shopping with Edinburgh’s top tastemakers
- A candlelit, after-hours moment inside Rosslyn Chapel
These aren’t just perks — they’re essential elements of an advisor’s ongoing research and partnership-building. For years, many travelers assumed digital tools had replaced the role of a travel advisor. Extra Mile Club continues to dismantle that myth. The series illustrates how much strategy, relationship management, and personalized insight goes into producing seamless luxury journeys.

Personalized Travel, Crafted With Precision
The Scotland episodes put a spotlight on the level of detail required to create unforgettable travel moments. Advisors do far more than piece together logistics — they design immersive experiences that reflect a traveler’s interests, emotions, and aspirations.
In these episodes, that means weaving together the rugged beauty of the Highlands, the elegance of Edinburgh, and the charm of Scotland’s ancient traditions into two completely different visions of luxury.
Behind every standout advisor is a foundation of industry partnerships, technology, and strategic support. Produced by LXTV Productions, part of NBCUniversal Local, and created in partnership with Global Travel Collection and Internova Travel Group, Extra Mile Club reveals how these shared resources help advisors build successful, future-ready businesses.

Why Luxury Travel Advisors Matter More Than Ever
As demand for meaningful, meticulously curated luxury travel experiences accelerates, Extra Mile Club underscores just how essential expert advisors have become. Today’s discerning travelers — especially high-profile clients like Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir — expect more than beautiful destinations. They want seamless execution, insider access, and moments that feel deeply personal. That level of nuance can only come from advisors who know how to anticipate needs before they arise, leverage their global relationships and craft experiences that reflect each traveler’s unique style.
The Scotland episodes offer a front-row seat to the value of this expertise. Viewers witness how top-tier advisors blend creativity with real-world knowledge, transforming a destination into an immersive, one-of-a-kind journey. The lesson is clear: in a world saturated with online booking tools and automated recommendations, true luxury begins with human insight.
The two-part Scotland edition of Extra Mile Club airs December 13 and December 20, immediately following Saturday Night Live, on 11 NBC-owned stations and across national syndication. Episodes will also be available for streaming on Peacock and NBC LX Home through Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus and Xumo Play.
