It was off to Miami for the brand new F1 Miami 2022 Grand Prix race and my journey saw me taking trains, planes and automobiles. I flew a brand new airline, stayed at a cracker of a Rome hotel but was unimpressed with Miami's airport.
Join me as I make my way throughout Europe and get acquainted with Miami ahead of the Miami F1 street circuit GP, a race I'm very much looking forward to for it's F1 celebrities, fake marina and yachts, F1 Miami Beach Club and amazing Miami F1 hospitality packages . I've even heard that the tickets for the Miami GP have sold out and the Miami GP ticket prices have soared on after market and third party sellers. Enjoy my latest F1 travel vlog, "Off to Miami for F1's Newest Race".

Great stuff, as always, Kym. As an American there is alway a sense of envy seeing the efficiency and quality of the service on European rail travel.

@KymIllman 2 года назад

It’s impressive.

@ericboyle8296 2 года назад

I was going to say the same. That "economy" airline seems miles better than regular airlines flying domestically in the US. Looking at you American. Flying into JFK must be a shock to EU travelers coming for the first time lol.

@@ericboyle8296 I flew to Newark and then to Washington DC and was impressed by the immigration process, they asked me (and everyone) for my 10 fingerprints, which in Spain, my home country they only ask for 2. And later, when I arrived, there was a shooting in a supermarket near the hotel, for me was very shocking having to protect from that, you feel very vulnerable bc anybody can carry a weapon, Idk it's another type of life totally different from the European one, or even a country with no weapons. Here we have fences in our yards, and alarms and security locks, and there you have guns.

@ericboyle8296 2 года назад

@@laurafdez2073 Rest assured we have fences, locks and security systems too. Oddly the police here don't carry submachine guns. Maybe because we don't have the terrorists with bombs? Just asking. But yeah normally the biggest worry for my family in the Netherlands is their bicycles getting stolen. BTW Newark is certainly not a highlight of the country!

Hi Kym, love all your videos! Excuse me if this is a rude question (I don’t mean it to be), I’m just intrigued! Your travelling costs must stack up, especially with first class and everything, to quiet a sum. Can you write them off as business expenses or is the travel costs just part of the job?! All the best, stay passionate!!

Having done a lot of business travel over the years (Qantas Platinum for a few years and Lifetime Gold), I enjoy your trip reports. The joys, tribulations and booking stuff-ups (been there done that). Some of my international stuff would be fly, land do a few inspections and meetings, rinse and repeat next day. So absolute luxury was two or more nights in the one hotel. Great vid as usual

@KymIllman 2 года назад

I am so disgusted with QANTAS at the moment. They have dropped the ball big time. Several hour waits for the Platinum desk, God knows how long for non-platinum members, baggage dramas a plenty and numerous other issues have relegated a national airline well down the list. And that business class seat on the longhauls pales in comparison to almost every other product (except Emirates business seat in the 2-3-2!config, that’s a shocker).

@peterblackmore7560 2 года назад

@@KymIllman My Berlin resident daughter made a longed-for 2 month visit in January, Flying QF Y. She and partner wanted to extend visit by one week and gave up after about 6 2/3 hour calls on hold. I tried PLat desk but they could not help. However, flights were BER/LHR/DRW/SYD + return on B787 and they enjoyed both flights. Having flown numerous other airlines during her international gymnastics career, she still thinks Q that best for a good back of plane experience.

Great video, again. I like seeing the different hotel rooms he stays in, yes it's an odd thing to like but I'm an odd guy, and the views of whichever city he's in with Rome being one of the best. Even though he flies/trains (trains? 🤔) first class and stays in 5 star hotels the actual traveling part has to be grueling at times. Being on vacation is fun, traveling for a living not so much, but he seems to take it in stride (🤣 like he's got a choice).
