Savannah Guthrie has enjoyed over ten years working on the Today Show and is a familiar face on the NBC news desk each morning. 

However, for the rest of the week, the much-loved anchor will be away from the studios - and all for an exciting reason! 

Savannah joined her good friend from rival network ABC, Deborah Roberts, on Wednesday night to fly out of New York City to London, ahead of King Charles' coronation - which she will be covering for NBC.

The star shared a photo of herself and Deborah flying in the air, looking delighted as they celebrated Deborah and her husband Al Roker's induction to the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame on their way to the UK. 

In the caption, Savannah wrote: "Celebrating from 30,000 feet on our way to London! Congratulations @alroker and @debrobertsabc for your induction into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame!!!!"

 She will be broadcasting live from the UK's capital on Friday to cover the first of the four-day royal event.

Savannah's co-star Hoda Kotb revealed all on Tuesday's show as she introduced a report from foreign correspondent Molly Hunter, who is currently on the ground in London to cover the coronation. 

"Just days away from the long-awaited coronation of King Charles and I know someone who's heading to London. Savannah Guthrie are you packing your bags?" said Hoda, turning to her co-host.

"I like to have a burger and a pint. That's the truth."
