"Flight's Time Travel Promise for Double New Year's Celebration Lands in Wrong Year"

United Airlines flight UA200, which promised passengers the unique experience of celebrating New Year's Eve twice by crossing the International Dateline, was delayed over six hours, causing passengers to miss their second countdown in Honolulu. The flight, which usually departs from Guam and arrives in Honolulu the previous day, was meant to allow passengers like Calvin Pham to enjoy the festivities twice, but the delay led to disappointment as plans, including a pre-booked fireworks cruise, were disrupted. United offered rebooking assistance but no formal statement on the incident.
