BA105 LHR-Dubai tonight odd timings

Just wondered if anyone had any insight to some odd timings for the BA105 LHR-Dubai tonight.

It is supposedly leaving 10 mins early and arriving 40 mins late.

The 109 which leaves 1 hour earlier for DXB is on time and landing early.

Thanks

Looking at FR24, it seems that the aircraft made a quick stop at KWI to drop off some secret agents.

More seriously, it looks like it took a very long and unusual routing over Egypt and Saudi Arabia: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/f...ba105/#d11677a

Looks like he wasn't sure if he was going to Jeddah, Riyadh or Dubai. This is a typical routing for Jeddah. . More seriously, technically fizz up front (or any alcohol) would have to have stopped as they crossed the Red Sea from Egyptian into Saudi Airspace. No Alcohol over Saudi ! I wonder if crew "observed"
