Knowing how SQ treats their high level fliers, each day, every day, nothing would surprise me. The guy may have made a last minute schedule change, and as posted above if there were 14 paid, full fare F seats already spoken for, the Pope is not going to get SQ to dislodge one of those 14.
Seems odd that a C/J could not be found tho, but hey, this IS SQ. Jurgen should cop it on the chin, as ANY airline that can SELL 14 First seats is a role model to emulate.
