United Airlines Flight from Guam to Honolulu Lets Passengers Celebrate New Year Twice by Crossing the International Date Line!”
Passengers on a United Airlines flight from Guam to Honolulu got to celebrate New Year’s Day twice, all thanks to the International Date Line! The flight took off from Guam on January 1, 2025, at 7:25 AM, but after crossing the IDL, it landed in Honolulu on December 31, 2024, at 6:40 PM.
This quirky line in the Pacific separates calendar days, so when flights cross it eastward, travelers get to “gain” a day and experience a bit of time travel. Passengers on this seven-hour journey got to ring in the New Year twice, making it an unforgettable experience.
United Airlines even promoted it with the fun tagline, “You only live once, but you can celebrate New Year’s Eve twice!” While this doesn’t just happen on New Year’s, it sure makes holiday travel feel extra magical. Other flights from places like Tokyo and Sydney offer this special experience for anyone traveling eastward across the IDL.
