he is very lucky
: a SQ direct flight instead of a two days nightmare in RUH
Indeed!
And it's an A380.
And SQ gave him dinner vouchers due to the later departure (23:55 instead of 19:50 with SV).
And they checked in his luggage all the way to Dublin (Aer Lingus flight, CDG - DUB), even though this was booked separately.
