A truly royal, diplomatic and self-sacrificing behavior to entrust herself to the junk airline of the country she is visiting.

Don't be so loyal man, they are doing it for publicity. They created half the problems in the world while showing very humble and kind behavior. Is there a single country in good shape after they left. Blame it on locals or whatever, that was the strategy. Some people still worship them. But I enjoyed Netflix show Crown.

If she is flying Sri Lankan the 2 day visit will become a week due to cancellation or flight delay.

Hope it runs on time. And I see her carrying her own luggage, where are the 50 people accompanying her royal highness? A Sri Lankan 8Pass politician travels better...

She is coming for celebrations of 75 years of diplomatic relations. I think this is totally not required or inappropriate as we were a british colony and our relationship is over 200 years old. Ranil could have saved this expense and built a few houses for poor.

What nonsense. Diplomatic relations were set up post independence. Hence it s 75 years since such relations were set up. This must be an NPP bot working overtime and pushing utter nonsense.

I suppose it would be better for you if the 75 years of diplomacy with communist Russia was celebrated instead.

Yes, she is carrying her own bags, but Sri Lanka is still her COLONY but noy being a TRUELY INDEPRNDENT country.

Hope the fake parts fitted on the aircraft doesn't fail? It's nice to see real Royalty carrying there own luggage while our fake artistes can't even carry themselves.

Don't get carried away by such display of humble behaviour. She is only carrying her carry on small bag which probably has got her essentials.

Your Royal Highness, Our presidents never take Sri Lankan. They prefer Emirates.

It is 75 years to remember the heinous crimes committed by the colonial forces on our ancestors. Like in Jamaica we Sinhalese should ask their apology from the Royals.

@rosantha, you duper, those are too secret documents to hand over to anyone else. Ranil's dirty give away plan to diaspora.

SriLankan airline business class travel is good enough for British royal family, but not good enough for some Sri Lanka politicians These Sri Lanka politicians have to travel in 1st class, So they choose airlines with 1st class arrangement. Avoiding business class

Please conquer us again and give us British passports. We are done with our dummies to rule this land.

Why does she carry her own bags - Is it because she has no faith and trust in Sri Lankan ground handling operations fearing she may lose her personal items and which may later be sold to a collector for millions.

Reply to @Sunil: you are a typical uneducated uncultured moron. While you sit on your fat ass and throw dirt at our welcomed and esteemed visitors no doubt your low class relatives are trying to get to UK as bogus refugees, to scam the UK population

Apparently there are a bunch of critics whenever the national carrier is involved. Presume they have never flown an airline.

I would refer you to tripadvisor ad Skytrax reviews of Sri Lankan. It does not make pleasant reading

Her humility and simpleness is showed by the way she carries her bags. This is what our authorities should learn.
