Narrative:
I had planned the flight release and forgot the hold time fuel sent it to operations. After flight departure captain advised his arrival fuel would be 5.0. That's when I noticed all he had was far 3.3. Flight continued to the planned destination with fuel checks along the way and crew asked for direct. Flight landed with 4.9 arrival fuel at the planned destination.
