"Flight Faux Pas: United's 'Time Travel' New Year's Eve Trip Lands in Unexpected Year"
TL;DR Summary
Passengers on United Airlines Flight UA200 were disappointed when a delay caused them to miss the opportunity to celebrate New Year's Eve twice by 'time traveling' from Guam to Honolulu. The flight was supposed to take off on January 1, 2024, and land on December 31, 2023, but was delayed, arriving after the New Year had already begun. Other flights, such as Cathay Pacific's CX872 and All Nippon Airways' NH106, successfully completed the time zone jump, allowing passengers to experience the unique celebration. United Airlines offered rebooking assistance to the affected passengers.
