Talk:Singapore Airlines Flights 21 and 22

Time Problem

Two different times are given as the landing time, both in the same time zone. This is a minor issue, but unfortunately I do not have the availible time to research the landing time of this flight and fix it. When i do, I will fix the article. Until then, maybe someone else will get it done.littlebum2002 14:37, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

The sentence in question appears to be "Flight 21 is scheduled to take off from Newark at 23:00 EDT (11:00 SGT) and land in Singapore at 4:05 SGT (16:05 SGT)". 4:05 pm (12-hour time) and 16:05 (24-hour time) are the same. However, singaporeair.com gives the times for the flight today (24 July 2012) as EWR 23:00 SIN 05:40+2 Day, 18Hrs 40Mins. ErikHedberg (talk) 07:27, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

The article says that the flight took off from Newark at 23:00 EDT and landed in Singapore at 16:05 EDT. If my maths are correct that's seventeen hours and five minutes. The article also says that the flight time was 18.5 hours, and most newspaper reports describe it as "almost 19 hours". Has something gone wrong with the time conversion, e.g. by not accounting for daylight savings time? Frustratingly the only sources for the schedules I can find are mirrors of Wikipedia or the shells of autogenerated schedule listings that no longer work. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:05, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

SIA CEO explains the reason the flight was retired

Goh Choon Phong explained that the A340-500s consumed too much fuel, they decided to sell back the aircraft to Airbus. (Video interview: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/despite-turbulence-low/2315558.html) Xizuki (talk) 04:01, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Singapore Airlines Flight 21 → Singapore Airlines Flights 21 and 22 – Article is about both flights, which make up the route between Newark and Singapore in both directions. Similar to Qantas Flights 7 and 8. –Dream out loud (talk) 10:17, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

• Support. This changes adds consistency and would fit better with the article opening. MSG17 (talk) 21:30, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support. As per MSG17. --Xaiver0510 (talk) 12:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support. I actually created Qantas Flights 7 and 8 nearly 5 years ago actually and agree with MSG17's assertion that the move would fit in line with consistency. Baseball Watcher 14:09, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support. It is an article about technically two flights, so having it named for a single one of them makes no real sense unless the other had it's own article, which would be pointless. Canterbury Tail talk 15:15, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support – If we start having articles about active commercial flights (which I'm not entirely convinced we should), then we need a means to avoid ambiguity with articles about airliner accidents, which are normally titled simply using their flight number (I thought Singapore Airlines Flight 21 was about a crash or something). --Deeday-UK (talk) 15:22, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support. Both directions (SQ21 and SQ22) are equally important. I don't think it makes any sense to just have one direction on the title, and make SQ22 a bit of an afterthought. Just put both in the title and avoid the confusion.Cpotisch (talk) 20:45, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
