Singapore Airlines...its a great way to fly

Singapore airlines, widely regarded as the best airline in the world and I would completely agree with that assessment.



Inflight entertainment
On board the superjumbo jetliner A380, I was spoilt for choice with over a hundred movies. One of my favorites was "The young Victoria". As a footnote Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson was the executive producer of this movie. If you like a good love story, this one's for you.




The movie "The young Victoria" follows the story of the early years of Queen Victoria who succeeded the throne at the age of 18 upon the death of her uncle King William. Prior to her attainment of the throne, Victoria was locked in conflict with her controlling mother and her scheming uncles. As queen she had to contend with power struggles during the early years of her reign. The soul of the movie lies in the romantic courtship and marriage to her cousin Prince Albert who was an enormous support to her. Unfortunately, Prince Albert died at the age of 42 after an attack of typhoid fever. Devastated by his death, Queen Victoria had her late husband's clothes laid out everyday and wore black,mourning him for the rest of her life.
Emily Blunt was outstanding as the young Queen Victoria.
