I got to fly private once for work. It was a Gulfstream, and much roomier than the Citation in this video. The windows were much larger than airline windows, and we had a flight crew onboard. The biggest surprise for me was how quickly these jets take-off. One can really feel the g-forces. The advantages, beyond the room to move about, are skipping lines, parking, etc. Since then it's been back to reality, flying coach.
What a great experience The thing about flying private that’s so different than commercial is it saves so much time not only in the terminal, but in the taxi time and even more so in the approach to the airport. The approaches to private jet/executive airports are so much faster and more direct and you typically don’t have to sit in the traffic pattern forever. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time. Enjoy Barcelona with your family.
Kym- as you say. Time is the key. Quick in and out. Champagne on the flight as an add quite nice. Had this in business 15+ yrs ago. Much better than business flights. Get going 🚀
Now I see why Jayce was only slightly interested in my English lessons at school ... nothing could compete with the life his father was about to offer him! Enjoy Barcelona - I lived there for 4 years back in the '90s. Best times of my life (apart from teaching your son in Perth, obviously). Love the vids, Kym, and I hope Jayce is doing well - it certainly looks like it!
Lovely to see your comment here “Mr Bennett”. Jayce has proved to be quite a photographer and I switched on social media manager for me. And his English is certainly above average so you have obviously had an impact on him there. Thanks for viewing the Video and I will pass on your sentiments to the young lad when he chooses to awake sometime around lunchtime.
I spent 34 years of my current age of 68 working as a Licensed Mechanic on Citations for the Cessna Aircraft Co. I am very familiar with that model and itis a good one. Not as fast as some but is very versatile.Looks like you had a good time, Cheers to you and the Family.
Hey Kym, my wife and I stayed in Nice and flew in and out when we stayed there. Visited Monaco and made the poor woman walk what would be the track there. The runway being out on the water was very cool. I love this video. Happy Birthday.
Stunning flight & service and “Happy Birthday”. I was in Barcelona just 4-weeks ago, beautiful City, great people, HOWEVER, be careful of pickpockets! A colleague of mine had her €6,500 watch stole right off of her wrist, as she was walking up one of the streets.
Happy birthday Kim. I was at the Monaco grand prix for mine, another gemini and also from Australia. Monaco is a amazing place and hopefully will keep its grand prix
Kym - your challenge now is to fly on a private jet with one or more of the drivers on their charter - but with you contributing of course... maybe with Valteri from Barcelona to Austria ?
GREAT video Kym. You deserve this. I keep watching your videos, and you have one of the most sparkling, and enthusiastic personalities covering F1. I am surprised that SKy has not scooped you up. Cheers from Toronto
Happy Birthday Kym, awesome video. I am a new subscriber to your channel and just love your very informative, high quality videos. look forward to the next.
SO much Fun Kym👍 Congratulations and best birthday wishes to you. We love watching your videos in tandem with all the F1 excitement and your content truly does add to the sport. We appreciate all of your family's efforts. Stay Passionate!
Happy birthday, Kym! My birthday is this week too. Thanks for all the videos-I appreciate the look behind the scenes, not only of the races but of the travel.
Love Barcelona, been there a couple of times, and what a way to fly! Plenty to do plenty to see, Park Guell is a beautiful place for photography great food great people. looks like you had a fantastic Birthday Kym enjoy!
Kym, I had the ability to fly private in a King Air many times across the US for work. No food and beverages, but the convenience of flying through private terminals and departing when ready was spectacular. Loved seeing your family in this video. Enjoy Barcelona! PS-Happy Birthday!!!!🥳
Mercedes flew a bunch of us out to their factory in Alabama with the appropriately named MillionAir on a G4. Michelin flew us on their Falcon 900 both really comfortable but MillionAir provided bubbly, jumbo prawn sandwiches.
I was lucky enough to have use of my employer's private jet a few years back, I'm sure it wasn't the cheapest way to get from A to B (not that I had to pay) but the time saving alone was worth it, we ended up saving 3-4 hours of waiting in airports every time we made the trip.
From having flown often since I was little, just thinking about omitting airport layover time by flying private makes me want to win the lottery RIGHT NOW.
Many large corporations do not allow their CEOs to fly Private due to lack of Maintenance of most Private Planes. I once flew Private with our CEO, CFO and a few Board Members to a Meeting with NetJets here in the US. It was the most convenient way to travel for sure. If you can afford it, hell yes. It is one of those things that makes you realize having lots of Money is Fun!
You fly private once, and all of a sudden ANY first class just ain't enough.
I fear you may be correct
Only on short haul. Long haul, only a few models have beds.
Happy Birthday, Kym
I think he said business class.
First class is quite different and quite crazy expensive
Facts😅

Oh, I could’ve booked a bigger plane but it would’ve cost me more and I thought this was more than ample for the one hour trip
Absolutely loving the video frequency this year Kym! I hope you don’t burn yourself out by working too much 👍
I have some good people helping me so no danger of that
Happy birthday to you Mr Illman🎂🎉
Many thanks

Great video, living the formula 1 dream through you
It was a great experience
You fly private to save time!! It's a time machine for people that value time. Well deserved hardest working guy in F1
And I work my arse off on that trip to get enough Video to fill 10 minutes
@@KymIllman Thank you very much!!

I loved the fact that you were humble and enjoyed the expereince.
Nice "Crowd Wave" Kim, as you boarded!... its really great to be along with you, in the World of F1!!
Good to hear. Thanks
GREAT video Kym. You deserve this. I keep watching your videos, and you have one of the most sparkling, and enthusiastic personalities covering F1. I am surprised that SKy has not scooped you up.

Toronto
On second thought, they probably could not afford you.
Cheers Kym
I’d make a terrible employee, but thanks for the compliment
@@KymIllman yes, I realize that you are an entrepreneur. As Jeremy Clarkson on Clarkson's farm would say, " Look, I made something ".
Happy Birthday. Lovely to have family around you.
Happy Birthday Kym! Luxury = Simplicity and private aviation is super simple compared to commercial
Happy birthday Kym! I hope you and your family enjoy your stay. Can't wait for the upcoming Barcelona vlogs 🎊🥂

11:52 Likely that flap looks to be so you can put a litter box in that area and it will be out of sight and any messes (and smells) will be minimal.
i am glad i found you, lovely content! Happy Birthday Monsieur.
Thank you so much!
We own a g4 so it’s interesting to see people experience this as it’s so normal to me
That would be quite a thrill.
Yo Kym, your videos keep getting better and better! I remember when you had less than 3K subscribers, very happy that your channel is growing!
Me too. Thanks.
Happy Birthday, and what a perfect way to celebrate, with your true passion.. flying like a boss

Welcome to Barcelona, Kym!
You should visit Port Aventura in Salou whilst your based in Barcelona, one of the best theme parks in Europe with a Ferrari land too
What a great way to celebrate your birthday 🎉! I'll keep my eyes open for you in Montreal. Can't wait to be at the race weekend!

SP is a civil aviation registration prefix assigned to Poland.
The company that provided the jet is indeed Polish
