Having been to about 90% of these lounges myself, you’ve almost got it spot on. Not sure I’d put a BA lounge in any top 10 list though 😂. Well, maybe the Concorde Room. Next time you’re flying out of London, try the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse if you can. Although being a OneWorld guy, you may have to take a hit on the loss of tier points. Either way, being an F1 fan who enjoys travelling your videos are always a great watch!
Lovely video Kym. Thank you for the brief viewing of those lounges. Always find the travel vlogs interesting. Perhaps some more of your local area and travels around Australia. Cheers mate.
Not a F1 fan, But travel alot for work. Really enjoyed this video and would love if you made more business travel content :)) Spoke at the perfect rate and didnt drag on. Fellow Aussie!! ❤️❤️❤️
I went to the Al Mourjan's business lounge at Qatar's Hamad International. I liked it. The locker was a blessing. I didn't want to walk around the airport lugging my backpack. Also took a nap during the 9 hour layover in the lounge bed section. Agree the buffet was ok but I took advantage of the menu and savored some champagne. My nitpick was the receptionist was a wee bit rude when he said there wasn't anymore lounge beds but my mom and I spotted some empty ones.
Qatar business lounge is great though I wish it was better signposted - it isn’t “The Business Lounge” - that’s a paid lounge. As with another comment on here, Virgin Atlantic lounge at Heathrow is my all-time favourite: someone has thought about what your business traveller wants and provided it. Their Revivals Lounge is great too for arriving passengers (shower and cooked breakfast - bliss). The Qatar Lounge at Heathrow is a small and hidden gem - great menu, great bar, nice space.
As a bit of a novice aviation nerd, I imagine you have in your collection of photos lots of images of airline logos on their tail fins. Would you consider doing a vid of that, and sharing your thoughts and comments on which airline has the best design, what the symbols mean? Thank you.
Hi Kym i am always in awe of your videos and you really do my dream job , anyway to cut to the chase i am wondering what software you use for your editing as the results you produce is AMAZING , Thanks in advance Gary from the UK
Who produces your video's ? good job. George Russell for F1 World champ 2023. If Merc get their act together it could happen. Already has the edge on Hamilton.
@@KymIllman I agree with the comment, the production is very good. Anyone can shoot a video but it the editing that makes a video so enjoyable to watch, such as music track selection, a bit of effects, choice of fonts, multi-screen display, etc.
No:2 lounge serves the cheapest American Bourbon Jim Beam, the cheapest Irish Whisky Jameson and the cheapest Scotch Blended (not even a single Malt) Whisky Johnnie Walker? Recently, I flew Turkish business from Istanbul to Switzerland and they only had the cheapest spirits as well, Jim Beam and Ballentine's. The Lounge at the Istanbul Airport was fantastic but the wine selection was very poor. All lounges in the US, barely meet the minimum standards they can get away. So, spend your $ for other things.
it's pretty obvious the No.1 lounge you choose is the No.100 choice for others seeing it was completely empty - surely one of the criteria of choosing these lounges should be the popularity and passenger usage. Sorry, Kym but thats a very pretentious No.1 I guess if Lulu was flying and because he has zero friends that lounge would suit him perfectly.
Watching Kym rate these over the top lounges when the only lounge you've seen all year is your own crappy living room... ☹️
At least your own living room doesn't require being stuffed in a pressurized tube with hundreds of strangers for hours.
I hope.
We ask make our choices. 🙄
Turkey and Singapore are my top 2
Being able to walk from the lounge to the main door of the flight is way cool.

Top airlines/airports of year next maybe? great video, looking forward to your videos for the upcoming season
Top flights of 2022 video coming up later this week.
It’s a good day when Kym put up a new video!

I prefer your lounge mate as you can't beat the view of the Indian Ocean from it. 👍
I agree the Emirates first class lounge is my favourite also
I am surprised the Singapore airlines Private Room did not rate. I like that is is small. Good wine and good food too.
Always look forward to your videos Kym , no matter the content . Looking forward to your next one !
Many thanks.
Good choice! Only missing the First class terminal in Frankfurt :-)
Great video. I prefer the Al Safwa lounge over the Emirates; it's too quiet but the food is great.
Hi kym greetings from Thailand just put all those on my bucket list good feature well done top marks
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video Kimbo. You certainly get around.
Yes I do!

I don’t have that many. But I have a few days this year where I will photograph planes so will add to my collection
Hi Kym well done another video from you cant resist to look forward to your next video. Gowra from India
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Kym what’s the background music used in the video? Great video!!
It would be a track from Epidemic Sounds music library
Hi Kym i am always in awe of your videos and you really do my dream job , anyway to cut to the chase i am wondering what software you use for your editing as the results you produce is AMAZING , Thanks in advance Gary from the UK
I use Final Cut Pro and after effects
thought you was going to break out into slim dusty at the end there haha
Qantas First Sydney.
In which terminal is The Captial One lounge in Dallas Fort Wort ?
Can’t remember now
Where did you fly Alaska?
Beat option at the time.
@@KymIllman what route? Alaska is my only hometown airline, down to 1 flight per day 😂 just curious.
worst lounges of the year?
Budapest comes to mind.
@@KymIllman Maybe you should do a video of the worst lounges.
Narita anything.... 😂😂

I do about 80% and Nicols does the sweetening at the end.

@@KymIllman No surprise you know your way round Adobe apps..or similar.
Mercedes looks horrid. Doubt it. Max 2023?
Just realized your living room looks like one of these lounges.

Oil-money lounges are cute indeed
Gee don't talk yourself up at all. You come across as a a guy that had no money and has to brag. As people with money don't brag.

Loved the Video Kym !!
