But some claiming

this is actually happened a fewdays ago I am surprised it’s just breaking now. We were delayed 3 hours out of AUH on flight 103 AUH-JFK on Tuesday Feb 16th while they inspected the plane. They never officially announced anything about a fire but this rumor started to spread that night. For a while it didn’t look good but we made the most of it in the pre clearance lounge the same way you would have ….no Krug though.

no Krug though

I was put in First Class deadheading on SQ a while back, definitely some nice Krug there...
