SQ's old EWR-SIN was notorious for sometimes going either way.
Thanks for the information.
I knew SQ 21/22 used to go either way (it went over the Pacific when I did it last year) , but I never knew this flight does. I always assumed it was much closer to go West from YYZ.
Does is cross the international date line no matter which way it goes?
