Departure and Arrival Times are local.
5hr 16min
7:00pm Depart Detroit (DTW)
9:16pm Arrive San Francisco (SFO)
5 hrs 16 mins is correct, block to block. 3 hour time difference between DTW, eastern time, and SFO, Pacific time. Now you arrive at SFO 9:16pm and you overnight in SFO. Your flight departing for NRT to BKK does not leave until the next day. If you take this schedule, you would need to find lodging for the night.
BTW: Arrival in BKK would be +1 from SFO, only problem is it's not listed in the schedule you provide. Here is a breakdown of NW 27 from Today if this helps you:
Departs: San Francisco-Int'l, CA (SFO) - August 1st
Arrives: Tokyo-Narita, Japan (NRT) -> Arrive August 2nd
Aircraft: A330-200
Departs: Tokyo-Narita, Japan (NRT) - August 2nd
Arrives: Bangkok, Thailand ( BKK ) - August 2nd
Aircraft: A330-200
Hope this helps. It's not an error, but it's an overnight at SFO and you depart SFO the next day as noted with the departure date. It's not disclosing the arrival date, but if you go to the next page on nwa.com, it will disclose it.
