"Flight Promising Double New Year's Celebration Hits Turbulence in Time-Travel Twist"
United Airlines Flight 200, which promised passengers the unique opportunity to celebrate New Year's Eve twice by flying from Guam to Honolulu across the international date line, was delayed, causing passengers to miss the chance to ring in the new year for a second time. The flight was supposed to take off on the morning of January 1, 2024, and land on the evening of December 31, 2023, but a delay of over six hours resulted in the plane landing shortly after midnight on January 1, 2024. Despite the disappointment, passengers made the best of the situation with an in-flight countdown and champagne. One passenger, John Gasquet, who had planned the trip as the highlight of his holiday, is considering trying again next year depending on the outcome of compensation negotiations with United.
