Difference in nuance between いつ and 何時


If I ask a flight attendant

いつ、とうちゃくしますか？

versus

とうちゃくは何時ですか？

Is there any difference in nuance if I want to know _how much time is left_
until we land? Meaning, I want to know how many hours and minutes we are
airborne, not at what local time we are expected to land (figuring out the
aircraft's timezone while in the air is not always easy).

_I noticed that there already is a similar, more general question posted here,
but mine is more specific._




いつ means "When"

何時 means "What time"

To the first, she might answer "In an hour" "At 4pm" "Very soon" ect - just
like in English. To the second, she would almost certainly answer "At 4pm"

Neither one will necessarily give time remaining in the air.
