Please don’t base your opinion of the UK by the standards of our national carrier British Airways. They’ve been a national disgrace for as long as I can remember.
Great episode, Kym! Every one of your videos leaves me with a renewed wanderlust. ... As a former track marshal at the iconic 'Mosport' in Ontario, Canada, you have refueled my passion for motorsport and you bring back fond memories of travelling to different tracks to work my corner as a flagger. Now as a gentleman of a certain age (70), I enjoy seeing you share your passion for ' the finer things '. ... As my father in law use to say, ... "Any fool can be uncomfortable!" ... Thanks for helping us "Stay passionate."
Quiche, sweets, champagne, and cognac sounds perfect! It’s great when you can eat on the plane and not have to worry about finding food when you land. You can just go to the hotel and settle in or go out and explore the city. Great video!
I feel bad for secretly missing the usual taxi mayhem, car rental nightmares, lost/left behind items, visa problems and airline delays. Maybe things run smoother when the Mrs. Is there to help?
Hello Kym, great video, it's good to see you having some r&r with your wife and once again showing us the best way to travel. Have a very productive weekend at the British GP. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷
I’ve stayed in that Hotel Indigo but only for two nights. I liked the property, but it wasn’t the most convenient location. Of course Rome’s metro is severely lacking compared to other major European cities. At least we got some walking in to burn off that delicious Italian food! Looks like you got a better meal than on a similar distance US domestic first class. I generally care more about the space though and, other than connecting onto a transAtlantic business flight, I just can’t see paying the premium in Europe, meal or not, in business. Air France definitely has very good lounges at CDG! Love your travel and F1 content! Keep it up!
@2:50 one packet of crisps! Rome, great but Milton Keynes, that's a surprise. I haven't been there for a while but it was the land of the concrete cows back in the day.
Oh No!! Green Motion... The only hire car company my excess deductible insurance wont cover. Look for reviews online. Very much hope you took photos... and good luck with the rental car return.
Great video as always Kym! My wife and I are a couple of Aussies heading off to Europe in a couple of weeks for our belated honeymoon, and we love picking up all the travel tips from your videos. Hope to see you at the French GP, we’ll be there on the Saturday!
Hey Kym, Next time that you are in Rome would suggest a hotel for you Bolivar Hotel... Very well located in the middle of everything, clean, amazing terrace for breakfast... Watch out for the grumpy lady who served coffee(haha)... Highly recommended.
I’ll second others comments. I enjoy your travel videos. I worked in the Silicon Valley & the joke was you were given your first plane ticket at orientation. Many of the engineers I worked with had a million frequent flyer miles & a few had two million miles. I must say I did all of my flying wrong compared to Kym. I’ll make sure to take some lessons from these videos.
Kym, by now, welcome to the UK! You keep saying enjoying some “French Champagne”. Champagne can only be French...otherwise it’s Sparkling Wine, Cava, Prosecco...or other regions. I know you get the idea 😂
Sat on the wrong side of the plane for the LHR approach. Right side gives you great London city views over the Thames (when the wind is coming from south or west).
Woowwwww a REAL smoking lounge in the airport?!?! 😍I haven’t seen ANYTHING like that ANYWHERE! 😅 Sadly that’s the most impressive thing for me in this video, probably because I’m used to seeing the normal amenities like snacks/beverages, etc. Since tobacco has been ostracized, I’ve never seen anything like that before. I’m used to taking risks of getting caught smoking or being somewhere I’m not supposed to be (because I’m smoking).
While many are here for your F1 content, which is 1st class.. It's the travel videos that are bloody awesome.. Heaps of tips & tricks for other travelers.. Though one tip would be handy.. How do you stop your Ears from hurting & popping?? As I suffer from landings..
You must spend an absolute fortune going to races, between flying business or first class, staying in fine hotels and eating incredible dinners. I wish I could afford it
Green Motion...well let me guess they didn't have the model of car you booked but offered you another better one for an extra fee. Only the one you've been offered you're thinking is the same group as the one you'd originally booked. Welcome to the Green Motion version of "find the pea under the cups' which you will lose.
Great video Kym. The British media love to exaggerate issues at our airports at the moment! Are you staying in the UK after the race or do you fly out Sunday night?
Every UK travel article has to include the words CHAOS and/or NIGHTMARE in its title, and at least one reference to a family with small children being stranded.
I always enjoy seeing the different airports, And how different airlines accommodate their passengers. Both say a lot about the respective cultures.

Many thanks for your comments here Santa
Your travelling vids are actually one of my favourites series to watch
Same
I think they're rather boring. It's like wow a man who travels the world talks about airlines. Who cares?
@@alecjones4135Cool, don't watch them then
Rome to Milton Keynes… now that’s something you don’t watch everyday!
The "And keep pasionate" was very nice!
Quiche, sweets, champagne, and cognac sounds perfect! It’s great when you can eat on the plane and not have to worry about finding food when you land. You can just go to the hotel and settle in or go out and explore the city. Great video!
Really in love with your travel vlogs!
Right?! Came for the F1, stayed for the Kym.
Easily the best "Stay passionate" I've heard so far.
I feel bad for secretly missing the usual taxi mayhem, car rental nightmares, lost/left behind items, visa problems and airline delays. Maybe things run smoother when the Mrs. Is there to help?
Great photobomb at the end ... Stay Passionate! indeed. Wonderful video Kym.

I like the idea including someone else on your video. that "stay passionate" from the hijabi girl is full of passion. I love this video!!!
Gosh wish we could have seen how you spent your time in time past five days. You’re such an amazing vlogger
Women at 1:16 on the back made me think Kim could freeze time jaja, Love your vids Kim keepitgoing!!
Travel Videos are my Favourite !!

Real men love quiche! 💪😎
Real Men call it, Bacon and egg Pie.
Great video, and seeing you today at silverstone cheers Phil
You have a lovely wife Kym. Lucky guy. Love the travel vids and looking forward to your coverage of the British GP

Literally in the process of booking flights in the UK for August. Pretty timely!
Keep these Aviation vids going!

loved the ending! :D
Only been to Rome once . I bought a speedboat there . Beautiful city , what litte bit I saw
Maybe go back another time to get the cardboard box it came in?
@@stea21fon15 It came from the USA smartass It was a Searay
Kym’s “check out this beautiful woman” shot at 4:42
Free trolleys, yes! I can never understand why it's not free in American airports...
4:41 magnificent indeed 😍
So, was the Italian flight food any good? You mentioned the bread was dry, but the pasta?
Nice to see the misses Kym, lovely accent.
Class video as always. You’ve got the travel vlogs down to a tee. Did you have to pay a cancellation fee on the Rome hotel?
No
@@KymIllman Thanks for the reply - enjoy Silverstone!
you don't need to call it French Champagne , it just champagne ........ if its not from champagne in france its just sparkling wine ......
But the general public doesn’t know that
Another amazing video. 👍
You must spend an absolute fortune going to races, between flying business or first class, staying in fine hotels and eating incredible dinners. I wish I could afford it
Welcome to my country 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love your travel videos more than anything!
Hope you had a better experience with Green Motion than I had. Disgraceful service.
Your missus is gorgeous.
Air France is nearly always underrated
You know you’re rich when you can afford to change hotels after you’ve already checked in.
Do you pay for your whole stay when you check-in in Italy? Here in the States, you can easily change hotels mid stay and it won’t cost you any extra.
Only paid for first night.
Changing hotels is easy. Don’t be shy about leaving for a better hotel. Everyone does it.
Watching ads, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy the video so here’s a like!

Kyma.... I love Italians...
Isn't Uber illegal in Rome?
I love the fact that Kym trashes the US airlines every chance he gets because they absolutely deserve it.
As an American, I concur
Interested to know why you didn't consider an EasyJet (gross economy airline) Rome to Luton. So much nearer Milton Keynes.
Maybe because ...EasyJet?
7:15 😂😂
Shout out to the Kid at 7:12 :)))
Welcome to the UK Kym, for what it's worth 🤣
Hope we treat you well.
Awesome content! 👍🏼😝
ETA airways livery look like Alpine's 2021 livery
They even have a plane named after Valentino Rossi
What’s it called?
3:03 blinked for a second and your wife disappeared
Do you need a visa for Uk? Did the hotel charge you for remaining nights?
No and no
Thing is without F1 your job would be a question mark , hope F1 continues
This is not a job, it's a hobby, he has a huge marketing company in Australia that is why he's so rich and travels the world to watch f1
@@stopsallmelb I guess he easily breaks even with his photography sells
Do they treat leaving Italy for the UK as departing the EU? Didn't they drop out?
Great video Kym. The British media love to exaggerate issues at our airports at the moment! Are you staying in the UK after the race or do you fly out Sunday night?
Every UK travel article has to include the words CHAOS and/or NIGHTMARE in its title, and at least one reference to a family with small children being stranded.
Kym - great video thanks - please be careful with UK car rentals! I have emailed you....
moxy hotels are cool all around the world
Happy for you Kym, but your videos scream of PRIVILEGE PRIVILEGE PRIVILEGE! :D
Yep 45 years of hard work has its rewards
What watch does your wife wear? The jubilee bracelet looks really good.
I’m so sorry you have to stay in Milton Keynes Kim as a Englishman I know how bad that must be
Hey mate, thats my home LoL
@@BryanWolfe21 Concrete cows, need I say more? LoL
@@BryanWolfe21 too many roundabouts
"French champagne" - There isn't any other kind. Champagne can only be made in Champagne, in France. ;)
The punters don’t know that.
@@KymIllman True :)
Welcome to Milton Keynes Kym, city of the roundabout and Red Bull Racing.
I thought Swindon was the city of the roundabout? Milton Keynes is a grid compared to Swindon
@@alistairwalker2850 Well I'm not going out to count them to proove the point LoL
How can I join an F1 employee ?
US airline domestic first class my not be perfect, but you get a much better seat than European airlines. I'd more rather have the seat than food.
Can’t stand Moxy hotels, strictly the basics and nothing more. Some don’t even have windows!
Don’t ever take Uber in Italy. They sub out to companies and it’s 3x more pricey.
Who covered the cost of switching hotels just because you didn't like it? Feedback...if it was you i think you can afford to run less ads!
I'm I the only one that doesn't understand why he changed hotels?
Why didn't you ask if the Illman husband & wife might be able to set up camp at Christian Horner's mansion?
Is your wife able to have the same access as you at the races?
She has no interest Matt.
ola hu Über
no boom
The BRITISH Grand Prix At Silverstone.
You get every other nations right ffs
End wokism 😃
You cannot compare any Business class experience with the one in the US, the latter is uniquely catastrophic at big price tag.
Stay away from green motion; they are scammers
