Sadder thing is that he didn't even have a SO with him. Could've brought anyone for free and he chose nobody?

I made a search MEL-LHR
MEL-AUH there is only 1 flight a day that arrives in to AUH @ 6:35 AM. I am not waiting 18hrs.
Also it's not available First class the day I need it.

I found it to be quite comfortable, flew it from GRU to JFK. Maybe I should add the seats next to me weren't occupied, so I had the poor man's premium class in economy.

1) Longer flight in actual business.
2) Better lounge.
3) Better connecting flight.
4) Better timings.
