  • All roads lead to Silverstone: Join me on my journey from Paris to London via Rome for a quick holiday ahead of the highly anticipated 2022 Silverstone GP. In this video I made it my mission that I would arrive flying only national airlines to the Silverstone Grand Prix. The national airlines I decided to put to the test were France's Air France and Italy's ITA Airways. Both of these European Airlines impressed me greatly, especially in the food department although the ITA Airways pasta was luke warm, but tasty!

    I always enjoy seeing the different airports, And how different airlines accommodate their passengers. Both say a lot about the respective cultures.

      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 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!

    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.

    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."

  • @Anits1989
    @Anits1989 2 года назад +5

    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’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!

    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.

    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).
