    Damn this is the best F1 experience around. I love your coverage of the races but the documenting of your travels is an awesome additional aspect. As a sport that travels all over the world, I think it’s very fitting to see the journeys you undertake between each race. Keep up the amazing work Kym!!!

    Great tips Kym! I have a flight booked with Qatar Business in Q-Suites later this year with my wife and 8-month old son. We have a 7.5hr layover in Doha and were planning to use the Qatar business lounge but you've 100% sold me on the upgrade to the first class lounge based on your review. Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm always looking forward to see your videos after the races, to see the hotel you lived in, the places you visited, the superbe pictures you shot during the race. Keep up the good work! Your posts really help us, everyday people, who don't afford to buy a F1 ticket or even buy your merchandise... 🤭 Some day... some day I will get one of your signed posters... I promise you this! 😉

    Al Safwa lounge is my best lounge ever. Usually when I travael in the middle east I travel with Qatar Airways just to access the lounge and feel that luxurious space around me. For that reason let me give you a tip. If you are travelling anywhere in the middle east (Ex : Abu Dhabi) and you choose to go through Doha in business class. Your second flight from Doha to your destination anywhere in the ME will be in first class as no business class available from Doha in the ME region. hence you will be able to access the lounge without paying any extra money 😁

    Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoy your travel videos. The Doha lounge looked mighty impressive. Here's hoping for a terrific race at Spa, maybe my favorite circuit on the F1 calendar. There's talk of it falling off the calendar - that's almost sacrilege for a sport that supposedly cares deeply about its history.

  • @meanredspider
    @meanredspider 2 года назад +1

    Kim, I’m with you on Qatar Airlines - my favourite so far. The airport in Doha is great but the names of the lounges are really ambiguous. The business lounge is not the business class lounge. My favourite lounge is the Virgin lounge in Heathrow - all the things you need. The Qatar lounge at Heathrow is small but fab.

    Only the rich travel much in the Middle East. In the USA anyone can travel anytime and most who do can afford the relatively cheap airfare. So there isn’t much profit to pay for such lavish lounges. Those who are as rich as the traveling Middle Easterners fly private and bypass most of the commercial airport facilities. So traveling commercial you’ll never see the super rich amenities.
