Aboard the mile high club lounge
Спорт
Join me as I make my way from Perth to Marseille ahead of the 2022 French GP at the Circuit Paul Ricard. On this journey I'll showcase the Qatar Airways Q suite and Qatar first class. Plus, from Doha to Paris I got the opportunity to showcase the Qatar airways mile high club lounge - a glorious lounge onboard their Airbus A3380 aircraft.

We have zero tolerance for ‘shenanigans’, Still traumatized from 9/11, if you so much as argue with the stewards or get into an altercation with anyone, we have plain-clothes secret Air Police (with fully loaded weapons) that will knock your head onto the ground. I say this with specificity since I was a witness to this back in 2018…it was quite dramatic. The guy they threw down needed throwing down though, I can assure you.

"there's a rather loud cougher right behind me. Hope they haven't got covid" 😂
“Second up we’ve got this woman coughing behind me.” Brilliant 😂🙌🏽
This was so very entertaining! I love your videos, but this one was non-stop humour!! The coughing woman, trying all the wines on the plane, liking none, booking the wrong flight.....priceless. Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed.
Kym, you feckin legend, as we say in Ireland. I thought I was a hard core wine drinker but you were absolute gas. You do know that your taste buds are significantially impared at that altitude but you went for it anyway. Legend. great video. My daughter arrives from Sydney in a few weeks, Can't wait. In the meantime, I'll stay passionate for F1 and Kym Illman,
there's no creator i look forward to watching as much as you kym, keep them coming :)
Love the travel vids more than the others
Kym you are the best F1 photographer/ content creator/ travel vlogger around. Awesome video.

Hello. Kym, fantastic video giving us all an insight into exclusive air travel. The food looks awesome. Have a good and productive French GP.🏁 Hope the coughing from the other passenger is not contagious!!😷 Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷.
Have taught me so much about f1!
Really informative and enjoyable Kym. Well done.
Lol, Tipsy Kim on the flight!
Love the videos Kim!
Trolling with the wines was brilliant.
Haha as soon as you board the A380 I was like oof that lady coughing, glad u brought that up hahah
Such a delight to watch Kym. Informative and entertaining. This is coming from someone who travels almost as much as you do.
Ohhhh my gosh!!! LOL about the wines review. Master sommelier 🤣🤣
Love how your bridging gap between my aviation content and f1 Love your what drivers drove to the track videos Don't know how hard it would be. But would love to see how drivers flew to the event

Aweseom as always! I am sure someone else has commented this but I believe your taste perception is fairly drastically altered at altitude. It would be interesting to compare your wine tasting experience at altitude with one at sea level! All the best!
Kym getting his rig out at the end…sublime
All I have to say is, Posh!!! Love your videos.
hey Kym, love the content! I don't know if you know that it was a possibility, but you can also take the high-speed train (TGV) straight from CDG, and that could have dropped you in Aix-en-Provence which is A. very cute, and B. slightly closer to Le Castellet. Plus it would have been interesting to see your take on the train!
That click bait 😅 Love all the travel reviews ❤
I can only dream of flying in business or first class 😭 Loving your wine reviews

Kym is an independent photographer. I think he has a video regarding how he got started here on KZread.
I feel for the woman that was coughing. I had esophagus problems and coughed incessantly for a decade until it got bad enough to finally figure out the problem. My esophagus closed up going into my stomach. Earlier this year I had surgery to cut the muscle radially so food would get into my stomach. I was coughing so much I gave myself a hernia on top of it all. Now I don't cough any more.
My neck and back just imagining flying for 30 hours - yikes. But the food and drinks might make up for it.😜🍹🍲😋
You must have arrived absolutely trollied 😂😂😂

“Second up is this woman coughing excessively behind me.” 😭🤣🤣🤣
Best wine tasting ever. One word answers only 😂
I was told to eat grapes between tasting wines to negate the lingering taste and allow appreciation of the new . Can't be sure if they should be red or white grapes.
don’t beat yourself booking through the wrong date. I’ve done it twice this year 😀

Kym, are your biz/first class travels all self funded? If so, I aspire to be a F1 photographer so I can travel the world in style! Although I'm aware Kym has other businesses and income. How much does an average F1 photographer make anyway?
"Second up is this woman coughing incessantly behind me"😂
Isn’t it interesting, previously a cough would just annoy us but now we are worried for what it could be as well as it being annoying! The food looked fantastic and as for the wine, the nonalcoholic bubbles are all pretty bad with most being sickly sweet, the nonalcoholic wine alternatives aren’t too bad and some are pretty good but you need to be open to trying them to find them.
Kym, I’ve read some studies that your tast buds don’t work as well in an airplane … so, try the wine with your feet on the ground as well? Before you knock them… And I’m NOT a wine drinker at all
Love your videos! Hope you did not catch Covid from the coughing woman!
