Singapore Airlines Arriving Here

[RNO Gary Schenauer]

FA shows an SIA 737 arriving here tonight (Sunday, May 15) at 9:49 from PHX. No Dep time listed (but that's not unusual) so perhaps it will RON. However, there's a AWE 737 with virtually the same departure / arrival times from the same place; if that has any significance I don't know. Mike, you could get this one in a night pic!!

I was noticing that also Gary. I have looked on the major photo sites and haven't seen any recent shots of SIA 737s so I have a feeling it may be a typo or some other weird FA bug, but maybe Mike know more!

Yep, I concur w/ you, Ryan; it could be a glitch in FA's wires. Not the first time it's happened; in fact, that is why I mentioned the AWE flight because the SIA info could be a mistype, etc. Still, it COULD also be a charter; coming from Phoenix, stay a day or so in Reno, and move on. But a 737? Again, the info seems a bit odd. Anyway, it was posted on FA so I passed it along.

Just checked again; it's GOTTA be a mistype. Now there's an SWA flight (with an almost identical flight number) coming from PHX too at around the same time as well as the AWE flight. Someone at FA swapped an "I" for a "W" as the entry was being made. Sorry, Mike, but I doubt there will really be a Singapore aircraft of ANY type there tonight. (Hope I'm wrong, tho, cause if I am you may see it if you're working.)

That is my exact thinking Gary, about someone mistyping the SWA flight. Never know though!!!

I experienced this same type of thing when I was heading up to KBOS one morning. This is a glitch where FA did not filter out the codeshare. When I went to KBOS I was expecting to see an Air Canada A340 and a Lufthansa A340 in the same day, but all I saw was the Lufthansa A340. I later came to find that it was a codeshare that was not filtered out. That is what happened in this instance as well. USAirways and Singapore are both members of Star Alliance and therefore the SIA was a codeshare on that USAirways flight that just did not happen to get filtered out of the system. I've noticed that it has been happening more and more lately.
