loved flying swiss first. The E lounge is amazing and had a great few hours watching the planes come in, one of the sides has great landing views. The 5 course tasting menu in the E First lounge is some of the best food I have had in an airport lounge!
I have a trauma with Swiss First class. A famous architect had designed a palace to Saddam Hussein. The only airline he accepted, was Swissair, and seat 1A. At the time the return flights originating from Kuwait, and then picked up more passengers from Baghdad on the way to Zurich. If some Kuwaiti sheikh had parked his, often sizable rearend on 1A, it was always a fight of wills, who gets to sit on that seat. Sometimes, the architect had to unpack and wait for the next day. Even now, 40 years later, I always check if 1A is available, whenever I am stepping into Swiss longhaul planes.
That entire experience though from Amsterdam to Perth was quite something though. One day maybe I could afford that kind of journey, until thing I will live vicariously through UA-cam. Enjoy your winter break!
Hi kim! Is always nice to see you in memorable video. In this video everything is like luxury but the best was a little boy saying "Stay Passione" lovely. Travel: Amesterdan+Singapure+ Perth.✈🚀💙👣💙👣💙👣
Great video, as always. Outstanding service by Swiss Air’s lounge staff, very impressive It’s nice to see some individuality within the lounge dining experience and nod to the local specialties.
i think you had a few Kym 😆 Spotted a few Irish whiskeys that you can only find in Ireland . Great video. I started to enjoy your travel videos more than the F1s 😆 ( I travel a lot myself) .
good thing about being checked in beforehand, is that you get to skip the check-in stands and can go straight to the baggage drop off, saves you 30 mins to an hour.
Your editing is so raw yet your travel videos are so engaging to watch!. I've started to take inspiration from your style and i always try to imagine how i can shoot videos when I'm traveling. Will buy a good entry level camera or start with an iphone once i start traveling! 🫶🏻 Thank you for inspiring me kym! Hope to meet you in 2024 at one of the American GPs. 🫶🏻
G'day Kym. It looks like you've got your retirement plan all sorted once you've finished with the F1 circus. You'll be transitioning to Kym's Flight Lounge Food & Beverage Review channel... 🙂 You're F1 related content is always excellent viewing, but lately I think I'm enjoying your airport & in-flight lifestyle reviews even more... 🙂 Cheers from Geelong VIC.
So awesome you enjoyed the Fondue! There are so many different variations with different cheese. Also a realy good meal is Racelette. Also cool you liked Switzerland and Swiss. Next time in Switzerland, make a stopover and I show you arround! Best from Zurich, Daniel
I love that you've been to my country and loved the food so much. I highly recommend you to visit the alps the next time end indulge in the food there :)
Love the travel content, just shows how much is needed in F1. Think Gabriella was trying to get you drunk lol think that may be why you had a good 6 hour sleep 😉
Only noticed recently that you place bloopers at the end of these! Not sure if that's always been the case, but good for a chuckle for sure. Cheers Kym!
The mini cabin behind First is called the Stübli. You have to pay extra for a solo seat in the Stübli, but if you can get seat 4A it‘s worth the money.
@@KymIllman, your video content and videography have GREATLY improved FANTASTIC !!!!! Hope to be back to Perth soon. Worked with EG Green and Son/ Harveys Beef/ Ken Doble. Very Nice People in Perth ~~~~~~
Swiss Air travled with the quite a bit in the 60s and 70s had relations in Switzerland was a good airline then southern comfort lucky you love that stuff but hard to get hold of here in Thailand you might get some at a 5 star hotel in Bangkok enjoy it
Ive been on the observation deck at Zürich and those binoculars are your bargain basement Tasco's, they're Leica's for heaven sake. Zürich is one of my favourite airports.
All the food you were served looked superb. In my case I`d have gorged on it but there`s no way on earth I could have lay down & slept so soon after.....how do you do it?!
Always a pleasure to wait and watch your travel videos and this was one of the best i have seen you go through the whole travel program to Perth back home. The swiss luxury and the Singapore Changi must have been something cheers and happy holidays. Gowra
Hilarious and well video just appeared ha ha UA-cam is a funny animal but I had just received a photo this morning from my Son ( another big UA-camr) of a glass of Southern and coke in the Qantas Business Class lounge in Melb. An in joke between us but must subscribe just to find what lounges have our drink!! Although my hope for Swiss lounge staff is perhaps mmm well glad you had a fantastic experience
For photographing I think, the Business Class lounge ist better. Because there you are on the point where the most plane do the rotate. That gives a little more dynamic for the pictures.
excuse my ignorance, i know it’s difficult to travel with alcohol over state lines, but Im absolutely not sure about international travel. But when you’re in Austin, you’re in the best place for Southern Comfort! If it’s allowed, stock up!
Ah, the smell of nail polish remover. Gives me pleasant flashbacks of university years. Back when a friend or 2 being rushed to the ER for alcohol poisoning was a sign of a decently fun weekend. Adulthood & responsibilities make that sound like peak immaturity now... Life, what have you done!
Will you post any of the pictures of the planes from the balcony at the airport? I often land up at Sydney airport at the plane spotting area. My photos are pretty boring and was hoping to see what a Pro can do.
Ever since i saw your review of the lounge in Zurich last year, i couldn't wait to visit it this year! Do you know if people flying in to Zurich (not for a transfer) can access the areas where the lounge it? Thank you!
Kym's alcohol review channel is cancelled before it launches, lol🤣
He has a terrible palate. 😂 He only likes Southern Comfort.
It's like flat Moxie with alcohol
Obviously Aussie are heathens when it comes to alcohol
Videos just keep getting better and better!! I love the travel vlogs just as much as the F1 content!
Glad you like them!
The Swiss sure know a thing or two about luxury
This is a damn impressive luxury flight
As an Aussie myself, I like your sort of laid back humour and good vibe. Keep up the good work ,mate !
Much appreciated

Southern Comfort Kym rolls down the ramp lol. The kid did a good job at the end
Dude, I would have been so buzzed, from that lounge. Glass straws!?!
I didn’t want to leave.
Whisky bar ! For a moment there I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.😄
It's worth trying the Whisky Diet ...................in two weeks I lost six days 🥃😄
Your life is amazing, Kym. Well lived and executed. So fun to view.
Thanks so much!
Hi kim! Is always nice to see you in memorable video. In this video everything is like luxury but the best was a little boy saying "Stay Passione" lovely. Travel: Amesterdan+Singapure+ Perth.✈🚀💙👣💙👣💙👣
My love for cars, and planes come together in one channel XD
Yay
Your airline travel vlogs are great, very entertaining. Much better than Sam Chui. 👍
Great video, as always. Outstanding service by Swiss Air’s lounge staff, very impressive
It’s nice to see some individuality within the lounge dining experience and nod to the local specialties.
Couldn't agree more!
Being Dutch myself, I have to admit Schiphol and baggage is a drama. Living in Switzerland now for 10 years always fly Swiss if possible
I guess if you can afford to fly first class, you don't contemplate accepting the €600.00 overbooking offer 🤔
I always get a kick out of you liking SoCo... Kym, you are one of a kind. Keep it up! Stay passionate!
Thanks Kym and have a good Summ-Wint-er break!
Great editing and excellent presentation. Really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it. I’m back on the aircraft right now.
I enjoy your style of delivery Kym. Keep em coming!
Thank you! Will do!
I love your travel vlogs! My new guilty pleasure. Cheers from Texas!❤❤
i think you had a few Kym 😆 Spotted a few Irish whiskeys that you can only find in Ireland . Great video. I started to enjoy your travel videos more than the F1s 😆 ( I travel a lot myself) .
Glad you enjoyed it
Gesundheit! And Stay Passionate! We need you back in 3 weeks!😊
Deal!
All of your reviews are fantastic, and this is one of your best. You are a true superstar.
Wow, thank you!
Great very lovely easy and enjoyable watch
My favourite drink right now just southern comfort and ice. Starts strong then gets weaker as the ice melts.
I bet you drink cough syrup for the taste
Safe travels sir. See you in the second half. 🍻
Enjoy your few weeks off. Looking forward to the second half of the F1 season AND your vids. Thanx 🙏
Honestly, loved the video. My first time seeing one of your videos! Keep it up!
Southern Comfort, not high on my list but good on ya mate 👍🏼 Another cool video
Thanks 👍
I look forward every day for your posts every day! Thanks.
I appreciate that!
That was incredible Kym, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sounded magical ! #staypassionate ✈️
good thing about being checked in beforehand, is that you get to skip the check-in stands and can go straight to the baggage drop off, saves you 30 mins to an hour.
Only found your channel last night Kym. I've watched quite a few since then and thoroughly enjoyed all of them . Great content ..thank you
Keep going Justin. Thanks b
Always love watching your videos and all your travels but must be good to be back in our good ol' land of Aus.
It really is!
👍 Enjoy your break.
Have a great break Kym and we'll see you in a few weeks.
Hello Kym, fantastic video. Stay passionate. Enjoy your R&R with the family.
Thank you, I will
Your presentations are always highly interesting to watch, excellent narrative and photography. Thank you very much and take care. 😊
Thank you very much!
What a feast your traveling is,boy am I envy of that…😜👍
Great video and reviews Kym, hope you have a restful break👍👍

Hey Kym, what a nice trip home! You will have to do the reverse trip in three weeks! Thanks for sharing your trip and enjoy your winter break!
How will I lane it interesting though. You’ve seen the cabins.
So glad I managed to book Swiss First to Tokyo next year! Thanks for sharing and showing that it‘s worth it checking out the lounges in A and E!
Have fun!

I’m not surprised Kym got six hours sleep after all that alcohol 😂… nice video!
Great travel information I like your movies and your comment
Thanks a lot!
Just found you on UA-cam. F1 and travel - Fantastic. Love your style of video. Just subscribed
There's something comfting hearing that Google voice when you're overseas :-)
Great video. Love you comment about grog reviews !
Thanks for watching!

So good!
Thoughts about going to a WRC event?
Your pictures there would be epic!!
loving the channel Kym 🍻🥂🥃🍷😂👌
Ii can't imagine why you are not the size of a house with the amount of food and alcohol you consume! Super vlog x
Rarely have a drink but I do love the food
I love that you've been to my country and loved the food so much. I highly recommend you to visit the alps the next time end indulge in the food there :)
^^
Fondue (+Raclette) is almost daily food (@ least during winter time)
sub + thumbs up, easily deserved
greets from Switzerland
In this episode Kym gets sloshed on SOCO, eats all the fondue and enjoys Swiss Air hospitality...
Very nice vidéo😊😊
Love the travel content, just shows how much is needed in F1. Think Gabriella was trying to get you drunk lol think that may be why you had a good 6 hour sleep 😉
After 45 years of drinking Southern Comfort you enlighten me that it is a whiskey. Great way to start the weekend :)
It was in the whiskey bar so there’s the proof.
Southern Comfort is technically classed as a liqueur.
I’m glad you had a good experience in Amsterdam, we had a 2 hour wait for Aer Lingus 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Excellent
Only noticed recently that you place bloopers at the end of these! Not sure if that's always been the case, but good for a chuckle for sure. Cheers Kym!
From day one
The mini cabin behind First is called the Stübli. You have to pay extra for a solo seat in the Stübli, but if you can get seat 4A it‘s worth the money.
NICE TO BE BACK HOME !!!!! HAVE A NICE REST !!!!!! RESET ~~~~~
Thank you! You too!

5:36 I know this lounge 😂 the vid where Charles Leclerc was trying to get his AirPods using a pair of freaking long tweezers. Yes Zurich
And in a few few weeks you'll be travelling in the opposite direction again, back to Amsterdam! Have a nice winter break 😉
Can't wait!

Swiss Is The Best Airlines In Lufhansa Gruope My Opinion.Great Trip Report
Totally agree

It’s my favourite airport.
All the food you were served looked superb. In my case I`d have gorged on it but there`s no way on earth I could have lay down & slept so soon after.....how do you do it?!
By doing it
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Now that your back, Can we get a house tour!!
What Watch was in your wirst? I got into watches because of you :D
Always a pleasure to wait and watch your travel videos and this was one of the best i have seen you go through the whole travel program to Perth back home. The swiss luxury and the Singapore Changi must have been something cheers and happy holidays. Gowra
Really enjoy your travel videos.

Swiss first Class is next-level luxury. Amazing!
Couldn't agree more!
Swiss first Class was next-level luxury - some decades ago.
Not watched you for a while. But thought I had to as my daughter now lives in Perth /Freo a long way from UK.. no first class or business for us yet
For photographing I think, the Business Class lounge ist better.
Because there you are on the point where the most plane do the rotate.
That gives a little more dynamic for the pictures.
i almost got 2000$ per ticket when they overbooked a delta economy class, always stick it out till the end.
I like swiss, kinda reminds me of luxair abit like its big brother
Enjoy your break Kym!
@ 6:00 The whisky is called File-i (Kylie, just with an F!) ;)
Fanks
excuse my ignorance, i know it’s difficult to travel with alcohol over state lines, but Im absolutely not sure about international travel. But when you’re in Austin, you’re in the best place for Southern Comfort! If it’s allowed, stock up!

Great work.
I am self funded and fly SQ/SR F to Europe and great airlines and ground service and 4k aud cheaper than QF AND EK
Will you post any of the pictures of the planes from the balcony at the airport?
I often land up at Sydney airport at the plane spotting area.
My photos are pretty boring and was hoping to see what a Pro can do.
I have to ask....Do you ever really have "Winter" in WA? Great video as always and have a great time off.
Yep. Got it now.
@@KymIllman But does it freeze and snow?
hahahahaha this is amazing! your pissed as a fart !! so funny. i"m crying with laughter.
Singapore lovely but just too humid first time I want felt like a bucket of water been thrown over me it is oppressive heat
Huh. That’s the outdoor deck Charles Leclerc dropped his AirPods in earlier this year lol
I like to watch the experience of first/business class. It’s amazing. Could you fly from Amsterdam to Perth direct?
Too far
@@KymIllman ah right.
The Etter liquor is from my hometown Canton Zug
Ever since i saw your review of the lounge in Zurich last year, i couldn't wait to visit it this year! Do you know if people flying in to Zurich (not for a transfer) can access the areas where the lounge it? Thank you!
I don’t
arent you heading to other types of sports during the summer break for shoots?
Not a chance.
@@KymIllman enjoy the well earned break Kym 🥰
I like Swiss air
Everything tastes good when you're well oiled
