Where Was 'The Crown' Filmed?

Work isn’t just professional for Fatima Popal, it’s personal since she’s the CFO of Popal Restaurant Group, the boutique, family-run hospitality group founded by her parents Shamim and Zubair Popal. After fleeing their home country of Afghanistan over three three decades ago due to the Soviet invasion and decamping in Washington, D.C., the pair channeled their creativity into entrepreneurial endeavors. In 2003, they unveiled their first concept, Georgetown’s Cafe Bonaparte, a Parisian-inspired cafe that immediately charmed locals with its old-world design and imaginative crepes.

The Cycladic island of Ios is a rocky, mountainous environment of winding roads sometimes blocked by herds of bleating goats and sleepy villages hugging cerulean coastlines. In the 1960s, backpackers discovered the nearly untouched island and it became known as a hippie haven, hosting all-night beach parties, with a handful of cheap bars operating in the Chora (main town). A few decades later, nearby Santorini and Mykonos began to outshine their neighbor, attracting hordes of tourists each summer and investing in new developments. Meanwhile, Ios only got electricity across the entire island in the 1970s and most residents here are goat herders or farmers. Today, Mykonos has taken the nightlife crown and both it and Santorini have become severely over-touristed. Ios on the other hand, remains a quiet, mostly undeveloped paradise.

Sofia Coppola's Priscilla is the opposite of a travel story—it's a film that hinges on its titular character’s inability to go anywhere at all. Priscilla Presley, during her marriage to Elvis, did not see much of the world. She visited him in Los Angeles once, yes, and accompanied him to Las Vegas for a show as well. But almost all of her time was spent in Memphis, within the confines of her husband’s Graceland. And after a promised trip to Europe disappeared behind a very early pregnancy, travel was simply not on the menu.

The Alps tend to tower to mind when you picture skiing in Europe, cutting across France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.

Raising my family in Singapore has meant that air travel is second nature to my two young kids. Between long-haul flights to visit family back in the US to weekends spent exploring Southeast Asia, I frequently take advantage of living 20 minutes from Changi International Airport, which is consistently ranked among the world's top airports. 

A new pilot went viral after sharing a heartwarming video capturing the moment he finally got to fly his parents on a recent flight. He later told Insider it was the "most special day" of his life. 

With the busy holiday travel season nearly here, many of us will be taking to the skies to visit friends and family and embrace warm-weather and wintry getaways. In between stressing about high ticket prices and potential flight delays and cancellations, travelers may also be thinking about the grimiest areas on an airplane—and how not to get sick while flying.
