On New Year's Eve, many passengers were disappointed on United Airlines flight UA200, which flew from Guam to Honolulu. Many travelers had booked this flight specifically to experience the New Year twice. But a significant delay spoiled the fun. The only reason it would have been possible to welcome the New Year twice on this flight was because the time zone changes during the trip. But that didn't happen, because the Boeing 777-300ER with the registration N2747U took off six hours late. By the time it landed, January 1, 2024 had already arrived. Some passengers are ranting on social media that they want their money back, because they only booked this flight because of the special feature that the different time zones allow you to experience New Year's Eve twice. The carrier apologizes for the delay and refers to compensation options under US law. Things went better for passengers on flights NH106 (All Nippon Airways) and CX871 (Cathay Pacific). Both planes took off on December 31, 2023, shortly before the turn of the year, crossed the date line and landed at their destination well before midnight, but again on December 31, 2023. This meant that the passengers were able to experience New Year's Eve twice because they crossed the date line. However, the travelers on UA200 were rather disappointed by United Airlines.
