Kym, I love these travel videos and we are being treated to very regular content from you this season. Thank you!

[@KymIllman]

The goal is six videos a week

[@mvarick1]

Kym. Tip of the hat on your videos! I love F1; your photography. But I also like the behind-the-scenes equally. Simply - thank you for what you do!

[@KymIllman]

Glad you like them!

[@hukuando]

Hey Kym, hot tip on the meals when traveling with Singapore Airlines - you can take advantage of their “Book the Cook” service (at least 24 hrs in advance) to order delicious meals like Lobster Thermidor or even an actual Cheeseburger on some flights. 😉

[@mkyano516]

Kym, your travel and behind-the-scenes videos, just like free practices or qualifying, are all now my must-watch on race weekends. And welcome to Shanghai.

[@KymIllman]

I’m glad to hear that my friend

[@lukegilbert7985]

After 13 years working for Singapore Airlines, I still exclusively travel SQ when i fly. But business and first these days. I love Singapore the airport, the country, the crew and SQ as an Airline. No company is perfect but Singapore Airlines try’s to look after it’s people.

[@qbi4614]

I'm with you. SQ are awesome

[@KymIllman]

Started well, but the technical dramas have left a very poor taste in my mouth

[@stevenelson3515]

Nice video. My only complaint on the long-haul business seat is that the foot cubby hole is a little small for me. I’m 6’2” tall with size 12 (US) feet and I found it was difficult to fit those clown feet in the hole in any comfortable manner. As to the in-flight entertainment, I have terrible hearing. And where a lot of airlines don’t have much in the way of closed caption movies (at least in English), virtually the entire SQ catalog was closed captioned. Love them for that. Food-wise, they have some awesome Book the Cook meals in business.

[@laserforklift]

The rush to your next flight is me about 5 times a year flying thru Denver 🏃‍♂️

There is a certain amount of irony when you see fires springing up around the circuit. Presumably since the track is on recovered rubbish dump is could be methane escaping or even as in canada under ground fires rising to the surface. It is not uncommon such fires burn for years at a time.

[@bertko1710]

I thought you have an APEC card to skip all the visa drama? Anyway the loose translation of the reply cabin crew is “you’re welcome, enjoy your meal”

[@davidhinds7634]

I love Singapore Airlines,

[@beazleteats4031]

I worked on the global advertising & branding on SIA for 6 years. I launched the F1 Grand Prix for the airline in 2014. That winner's trophy held up by the victors is my design. I can hand on heart say one of the airline's biggest complaint was the different Business Class seat offerings. When had 3 during my tenure...one offering was so old that each time they flew on routes longer than 4 hours they ended up reimbursing complaining passengers with free air miles. Have you reached PPS status on their FF Program you'll be treated like royalty even if you end up in economy...they will still make sure you are well looked after...and unlike Qantas, they will hardly ever give you a free upgrade...in all my years as a PPS flyer I was never ever given an upgrade. Whereas as a Platinum Qantas FF I usaully got upgraded 40% of the time...of course I would ask if there were any upgrades available and you'd be surprised how often I was upgraded from Bus to First purely because I asked...so don't be afraid to ask for the free upgrade.

The maglev is amazing. I was fortunate to be on it at 400km/hr. But going into China nowadays? No way I would do all that stuff to get their visa. But obviously it’s part of your job. They make it so difficult

[@mark123655]

Yep.. think anything media has special issues. As a 'tourist' I did the 2018 Shanghai GP.. no visa at all - used the transit without visa exception for a 6-day start, and travelled to Wuxi and Hangzhou as well. But takes some planning with flights (can't do a straight return)

Kym, that holding patten you were in is very common as you know, aircraft can be put into holding pattens for all manner of reasons. If airport is busy, or maybe it’s an international airport with cargo planes they may get priority over other aircraft, or you may have smaller planes that land there at the same time, they may take priority of the bigger aircraft as bigger planes create more of a wake and so smaller planes getting caught up in that could be dangerous.
