Is AUSTRIAN AIRLINES the BEST in EUROPE?

I was AMAZED by my recent flight with AUSTRIAN AIRLINES. In this video I will give you an Austrian Airlines review based on my experience flying from Barcelona to Vienna. This flight left me thinking that Austrian Airlines business class could be one of the best european airlines for short-haul flights.

As an Austrian, this video was so cute and beautiful. I love when other people get to enjoy our wonderful country. We sometimes forget how great Austria is, but we get reminded with this kind of videos. Thank you Kym! I hope you had a great stay and you will come back soon.

[@Anonymousones1]

Your country is amazing please never let mass migration from the 3 rd world take over ❤

[@KymIllman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Sykasa]

@@Anonymousones1 I'd like to not make comments on a video about something completely different political. But i am happy you like it, it's wonderful to live here.

[@videosinfrench9928]

I wish I had visited Austria as much as I visited France. I love Austria, Vienna, Salzburg, the people and the food. I hope to get there again but I'm retired on a fixed budget but.......hope springs eternal.

7:11 Alright kids, we'll need to have a word...who of you pulled up with that sign for Yuki?

[@kayleebeare]

Hey Kym that’s my friend Hannah that you met on your flight! We’re looking forward to meeting you at your meet and greet in Austin!!! 😀

[@KymIllman]

Let’s do it

[@paulmerritt418]

Austria is such a beautiful country. I agree. Personally, the last time I flew out of Barcelona, I really struggled to find my ticket agents. It seemed to me that they were like a pop up coffee shop. I am sure that with your broad experience you plowed right through the airport experience. Looking forward to Silverstone this weekend.

[@sebastian0018]

I flew yeaterday on the exact plane you flew. The crew and overall service was stunning even in economy. Nice video! Greetings from Austria!

[@luckyuliveHI]

That was a fun video to watch. Really enjoyed it.

[@KymIllman]

Glad to hear it!

[@bertko1710]

Definitely worth it to go for business class! Stay Passionate!!

[@barondugger]

Enjoyable as always!

[@cjkupa]

Flew Austrian Airlines from Berlin to Dubrovnik last year and the best euro business class we've experienced. The crew were so friendly and the food and drink service was fantastic.

[@KymIllman]

I was very impressed as well!

[@Braselton21]

I'm one of those people that stand in those long economy lines just to be squashed in the plane :( *Life goals is to be wealthy enough to afford Business Class to everywhere & to stay in a 4star hotel for at-least four nights over a GP Week/end Lol

Media man has uploaded!!

[@christophmuhlbock5040]

well there is such a big gap between business and eco. on our flight from gotheborg to vienna AUA served a 0,15 l glas water and a "Mozart-Taler" (the flat version of the well known Mozartkugel). To be fair, we could choose. With or without gas.

[@davidelghammer6449]

I'm Swedish and I love Sauerbraten! 😜 Or is that just German!? Love the video!!😊

[@flyhoward500]

Kym do Iberia short haul business class. I think it’s one of the best in Europe, with comfortable seats and good food.

[@heidelbergaren5054]

Depending on the crew, but a lot of times they will get your moved back cabin luggage for you before the stampede

[@brandondyck20]

What was the window suction cup clamp for your phone? That's a good idea!

[@AUmarcus]

Quad Lock.....an Australian product.

[@burkelong4376]

We spent three weeks in Austria last summer, mostly in and around Salzburg. You're right, it is a beautiful country with wonderful people.

[@EasyTarget892]

Do you think if you were just an F1 Photographer and not also a business owner that flying in mostly Business Class would be within reach?

[@TNTahir]

Nope, you need a LOT of money for frequent business class flying, and you ain’t doing that on an F1 photographers pay.

[@KymIllman]

Yep. If you work like I do.

[@niklas_a]

probably yes, because they have to travel a lot they'd get a ton of miles

[@FTRRacingTv]

@@TNTahir there is no such thing as "F1 photographers pay" most are freelance, work for a team or an agency like getty

[@TNTahir]

@@FTRRacingTv Yeah. I would be surprised if they earn at least £200k a year.

[@MarkoVukovic0]

Traveling vicariously through you, thanks Kym! Can't wait for this weekend's action, and of course your videos. Just used Google Translate, "Bleiben Sie leidenschaftlich!". German is crazy :D

[@__8868]

Austrian is such a great airline. Their food shits on every American carrier by a long way.

[@videosinfrench9928]

Nice video but Weiner schnitzel? Do you know how those calves are raised Kym?

[@KymIllman]

I know what they taste like

[@andrewpowell6206]

Hi Kim, I am at Silverstone for the Grand Prix and am doing the pit walk this afternoon. When entering the circuit this morning I was told that lenses over 50mm focal length are not allowed. I just wondered if you know why this is? I’ve been coming to Silverstone for years and love taking photos of the Cars. I have a Nikon D750 With 80-400 Af-S that I use for this type of picture. Love your channel and your advice and insight.

[@lushandraogle240]

I believe Kym has mentioned before that it's not allowed at most tracks but is just rarely policed so I guess you were just unlucky to meet more diligent security personnel...

[@andrewpowell6206]

Thank you for your reply. Just came back from the pit walk and lots of people had longer lenses. So I guess it’s just the luck of the draw 👍

[@tonyreid833]

Austria is so beautiful

Hi kym greetings from Thailand why can't all hire cars be that simple love austria been a couple of times saltzburg worth a visit stay passionate 😊😊

[@berlese1981]

The quality is decreasing since Lufthansa took over. Connnecring flights often having too short layover, so that I missed twice the second flight and missed the luggage.

@@KymIllman Do you actually get more foot-room in 1A? It seems like your feet were kinda pinched @2:36. I'm a US 15 shoe, so this concerns me greatly 😄

Twenty minutes saved at the queue to board the plain that was swallowed up by the twenty minutes delay before flight. 😅

[@cherylseepersad8940]

Just got back from a month long in Croatia, Germany and Austria. Flight crew on Austrian were rude as hell to my cousin and I. She was told she couldn't have coffee until dinner, they diverted us to another airport in another place and the lady at Austrian desk was so rude to us. Stayed i on Wolfgansee and found very few friendly people! NEVER AUSTRIA AGAIN. Although it was stunning.
