These videos are SO addictive! We are fans of yours but being it’s based around F1-the sport, it’s lifestyle and all it’s elements, the travel vlogs, your experience on and off the track, just brilliant and very entertaining. Thanks Kym!🙏🏻✈️❤️ 🏁
As an American, I don't think you realize how fast you cleared customs. You might have set a Guinness WR. I'm pleased to hear that even dealing with AVIS, you were in and out in 30 minutes. Shocked!!!!
Just flew Qatar Airlines 777-300 in the Qsuites from Doha to Chicago. What an unparalleled experience. Talk about customer service. The Qsuites are outstanding except for the seat itself which didn't make the most comfortable bed for a side sleeper like me. Having a dedicated jetway for business class was a treat as well. Decided to watch your video again now that I've been there and it makes it even more interesting. Alas, no 34 in my amenities kit. It was a different fragrance. I thought that stuffed animal sculpture in the airport was weird but to each his own!
Absolutely loving your Videos Kym, loving the humor of the first class suite so good! Shoutout to all the effort you also do with the graphics to show the details of your plane, good stuff.
I've flown with qatar airways qsuite once for my jakarta to doha flight, and the experience was outstanding. Definitely recommended to all of the backpackers around the world. The flight attendant was really nice and the food and beverages were simply extraordinary. The lounge was perfect and theres alot of food options. The seats were really comfortable and theres alot of space to stretch our leg freely. I also got alot of privacy during the flight. But its really unforetunate to got a place in the middle aisle, not getting a chance to see the beauty of the flight from the window. I expected to fly an A350-900 XWB but eventually i realise that i would fly a 777-300ER. Its also an unfortunate that i cant continue my flight to athens with the Qsuite. Keep up the good work, qatar airways 👍
7:57 the dude in the background on the right is from McLaren I’m pretty sure. I’ve seen him on a couple of videos Mclaren has made including that message to Carlos where they all spoke Italian.
The fact those 30 didn’t know much about F1, if it all, shows how huge the market could be if cracked..ask nearly anyone in a city in the Uk and they could tell you something or a driver at a minimum
I love F1 but I also love travel RUclips channels. I think I might actually prefer Kym the travel vlogger! 👍🏻 I definitely want to check out Qsuites! Edit: BTW, welcome back to the States! I’m one of those Americans that have been watching F1 for pushing two decades and didn’t just learn about the sport due to Netflix! I’ve been to a half dozen football games at Hard Rock so I really want to come see it configured for an F1 race! But those prices! 💰💰💰
one of your best vlogs, ever! i was recently in northern portugal and toured the vineyard that produced the port on your flight, it’s quite small so what a surprise to see it on a qatar flight!
Hi Kym , Love watching your videos. I'm trying out Qatar Q Suites in August & September this year ( Zandvoort & Monza Races ) . First time flying business class..... can't wait for the experience. Take care , Michael Melbourne.
Hi Kym, being a VIP member and an avid follower I really enjoy these videos. Not that I am expecting to travel in the near future but I was wondering if you could advise the following: I am an Aussie and drink beer only & are am an occasional spirit drinker. Can you advise what beers are available on the flights you take? I know Southern Comfort is your favourite but mine is Makers Mark - do they stock that.
Never been this early to a video! As always, I love the travel videos as much as the F1 content and I am so excited for the Miami race!! Hopefully I’ll meet you there next season, if not sooner!! 🤞🔥👏
I flew Qatar Airways from Manila to Doha and we had a medical emergency landing in Mumbai! We missed our flight to Killamjaro and had to overnight at the airport hotel. Hammad International is great airport.
Another excellent video. Was that fellow photographer and equipment rescuer @f1sutton in the background of the initial shot. Also if going back through Doha there is a new Qatar lounge that has just opened - The Garden in the Orchard area. Similar access to Al Mourjan. Also new oneworld lounges nearby
The rental car experience at Las Vegas will be "somewhat different" than at MIA. The car center is the old airport terminal, right next to the new one, but seemingly on another planet.
Kym next time you’re in that lounge restaurant for Doha get the ala carte menu the grilled salmon dish I had was to die for their Buffett was mid(mediocre) but the ala carte was fantastic
I guess Turkish Airlines didn't have good rates? There is an over-nighter from Baku to Miami via Istanbul (IST-MIA 00:20-06:00 or something like that). It's not better than Qatar, but at least you spend 4 less hours in the air and you don't have to leave Baku at some godawful hour.
Living the life, love living thru urs. Inspiring. Question. Does formula one cover your travel expenses and other photographers? How many others are given such contracts, can you explain how your contracts work as freelancers or employees? Curious as a freelancer in film media.
Kym Illman, world traveler. These treks would be a hard slog for anybody half his age, and he makes it look so easy. Now all we need is somebody to dress up like Miami Vice characters... 😁
Doha Airport is a bit expensive for my liking. Spent a few hours layover back in 2016, my jaw dropped when I saw how much I had to pay for Burger King...
The driver was on empty because most likely he had an LPG installation in his car :D then you only need a bit of fuel to start the car and it switches to LPG tank :)
Qsuite IS the best seat, but variable staff (from excellent to tick a box) can ruin the experience. Appalling customer service attitude, not to mention the human rights issues... I prefer SQ for the total experiance
We learned two things about this video ... #1 I fully understand why driver hire private jets and #2 Its a fact that 99% of Americans don't give a sh@t about F1 yet they get 3 races a year more than any country in the world 😒😒

6:22 that is the smoothest transition I have ever seen in my life.. RUclips, Film or TV included.
😂😂😂
Must have been Some turbulence to shake all the colours out of his tee shirt 😂
Yeah, this editor is really good
as someone who loves f1 & airline experiences, i love your channel so much!
As an American, I don't think you realize how fast you cleared customs. You might have set a Guinness WR. I'm pleased to hear that even dealing with AVIS, you were in and out in 30 minutes. Shocked!!!!
I think he realised, thats what he talked about it so positively. It would be at least his 6th time in the US for F1
That was brilliant going around asking locals if they knew about formula 1. Hilarious reactions you should definitely try and do that more!
The Qatar Qsuits are quite addictive, the Diptyque 43 is such a great package for travelling, and that chicken burger looked magnificant!
34 you mean?
Even your non-F1 content is fire! Slick editing, soothing voice, and informative! Easy to live vicariously thru your cool job!
6:21 very nice switch!

You could do a video about all the airports you've been to around the world, and mark em down in a map. Might be quite interesting.
@@ahpuch2236 How are we supposed to get all of the airports that Kym's visited from a random airport website?
Welcome back to the USA Kym. I became the owner of a Stay Passionate T-Shirt this week, looks good!
Thanks Terry!!!

it is definitely the best business class offering I have seen

6:22 that transition was great!

Transition at 6:22 was SMOOTH!
Quality content....loved the last poll
I used to fly doh-Mia nearly yearly, absolutely love it
Thanks Kym, you are literally living my dreams...and I can relive them as many times as I like.
Cheers.
one of your best vlogs, ever! i was recently in northern portugal and toured the vineyard that produced the port on your flight, it’s quite small so what a surprise to see it on a qatar flight!
Nice one Kym.
That Qsuite looked amazing as did your salmon meal.
Absolute banger of a video today Kym!

Great vlog Kym
I would have loved a few more shots of Miami Vice settings, but as always, a joy to watch.
Hi Kim great review as always, obvious they people you interviewed had not watch Drive to Survive.
Another great video. I enjoy watching it.
Never been this early to a video! As always, I love the travel videos as much as the F1 content and I am so excited for the Miami race!! Hopefully I’ll meet you there next season, if not sooner!! 🤞🔥👏
These travel videos are amazing!!
Thanks for the great content Kym!
@6:22 tremendous transition! 😂
Kym --The Perfume Police
That could be a Netflix special surely!
Living the dream. Thanks for sharing.
Kim: Tastes like wine with.. *sniffs glass*.. notes of wine.
I flew Qatar Airways from Manila to Doha and we had a medical emergency landing in Mumbai! We missed our flight to Killamjaro and had to overnight at the airport hotel. Hammad International is great airport.
6:21 lit
Time to wait for the outtakes again right at the end to witness Kym swearing at the camera 😂
Another excellent video.
Was that fellow photographer and equipment rescuer @f1sutton in the background of the initial shot.
Also if going back through Doha there is a new Qatar lounge that has just opened - The Garden in the Orchard area. Similar access to Al Mourjan. Also new oneworld lounges nearby
It was.
These are nice positive calm videos
Glad you think so!
Have you ever tried compression socks while flying to help increase circulation and reduce swelling of the feet?
Love your videos sir.
Kym, why didn't you fly on the direct chartered Qatar flight from Baku to Miami? Saw a B777-300ER departing!
I would think that was for F1 & team personnel only. Media aren't one of them
How does the takeoff feels when facing backwards?
Kym, strange question... what make are your suitcases. I'm looking for new luggage, and thought about the miles yours must do. Cheers.
4:15 that was funny af
Hello Kym, weren’t you part of the two Boeing 777 specially chartered non-stop from GYD to MIA ?
As you can see he wasn’t.
Correct
@@KymIllman 36 x 2 Qsuites for the F1 Circus - I'm curious who was in Qsuites and who was in Economy !
after all these years people remember michael schumacher. goat for a reason.
The rental car experience at Las Vegas will be "somewhat different" than at MIA. The car center is the old airport terminal, right next to the new one, but seemingly on another planet.
Thankfully, I won’t need a car in Vegas
Kym next time you’re in that lounge restaurant for Doha get the ala carte menu the grilled salmon dish I had was to die for their Buffett was mid(mediocre) but the ala carte was fantastic
Will do

I landed in Miami airport in February; 2 hours and 15 minutes to get though passport control! Just what you need after a 10 hour flight in economy -.-
It took me 2 hours to get through JFK. Why not get a taxi to Hilton as safety of driving after long flight
I love ur travelling videos
The McLaren engineering team behind you at 7.56
Do you ever watch the TV on board to kill time?. dont think ive seen a video on what type of selection they have.
That must have been my brother driving that taxi, he drives everywhere on fumes.
mr illman do you have to pay everytime for these flights by yourself or is there anything that f1 is paying?
Living the life, love living thru urs. Inspiring. Question. Does formula one cover your travel expenses and other photographers? How many others are given such contracts, can you explain how your contracts work as freelancers or employees? Curious as a freelancer in film media.
I’m a freelancer. I pay.
Kym you may have already answered this how do you travel with your camera gear?
I love your videos, but Avis rental cars i wouldn’t use
Where do you get your music?
Good stuff x

Hold up, 4 abreat q suites on a airbus a320? Im am confused?
Doha Airport is a bit expensive for my liking. Spent a few hours layover back in 2016, my jaw dropped when I saw how much I had to pay for Burger King...
Did I miss how much the flights were? He says it's 3 times what he would pay for Emirates but doesn't say the amount. It seems edited out
Cheaper than $5k for the DOH-MIA flight I'm guessing. Probably $2-3k. Not many flights over $9k
Taxi was driving on LPG. I know. I do the same.
The driver was on empty because most likely he had an LPG installation in his car :D then you only need a bit of fuel to start the car and it switches to LPG tank :)
Wow you got a $404 dollar glass of champagne. Good for you. Lol i saw the champagne list and your glass of wine and put 2 and 2 together lol.
For a guy who claims not to know much about alcohol he picked well :-)
@@mark123655 right, that's what I thought also lol
Fort Logan Sergeant lol
Honestly their IFE is the worst!!! But the seat and food are good

first viewer and comment
What’s your secret to getting 8+ hours sleep on the plane?
Men and fragrances, I don't understand it at all. Nobody says baaa-kooo like Kym.
Because fragrances smell nice?
That's how I say it, but I'm Australian so probably influenced by that.
Aussies do.

All the mechanics who had to fly economy are criing right now
Check your Dms and emails by Thread Trove love the vid ❤
Yeah no Americans will always generally be clueless about f1 💀🤣
Did you get the free Qatar strip search? Oh that's only for Aussie Women..
