Join me on an exhaustively long yet luxurious journey from Australia to Europe! In this trip I will be flying from Perth to Amsterdam for the 2023 Dutch GP.
Now I can tell you for most is this not an easy journey and it took me 3 flights, 36 hours and a piece of lost baggage. Although Overall it was a great experience because I got to have a look at the Singapore Airlines first class lounge Changi Airport and I had a tremendous flight form Changi to Zurich with Swiss Air first class! I also got to experience one of my favourite lounges in the world - the Swiss Air first class lounge. Here is: PERTH to AMSTERDAM: 36 hours, 3 flights and 1 LOST BAG!

As someone who used to travel the world for work from Australia in economy mostly I must admit I'm a bit jealous. Flying on such long flights regularly and having to be processed with the masses burned me out after a few years. Flying business makes life so much easier, first must be mint.

I love seeing Kym be the guinea pig testing out the best and easiest ways to travel for all of us who sit home and never go anywhere. You're beating them at their own game with those bag trackers, though. The airlines should provide trackers for all first & business class luggage. It probably wouldn't cost much compared to all the expensive liquor and other perks. Nice video!

Please could you indicate what locator you are using as i've lost more bags than i can remember.

@BilTheGalacticHero 10 месяцев назад

LOL! The wrong time on the phone is epic. I've had that happen on a small scale and it's always annoying. I'm shocked you check a bag but I guess if you're traveling by yourself and need to have the camera gear in your carry then on the clothes have to go somewhere. I'm using to traveling with my family where we can spread the bodies and lenses around our various carry on luggage.

@2Fast4Mellow 10 месяцев назад

12 years ago I discovered a handy life hack. I just FedEx my suitcase(s) to my destination. I only have a simple backpack with the things I actually need like wallet, papers, laptop and food. Many hotels have an option to set luggage aside it you inform them. Some charge a small fee if they need to safeguard it over 24 hours, never lost a suitcase since. Depending on how much luggage you have, it might even save you some money as airlines love to charge you for everything... I did flew a few times first class, but in general I'm more than happy with business class...
