Thanks to a flight delay and 23 hour time zone difference, people aboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight got to celebrate the New Year twice! The flight left Auckland, New Zealand, at 12:05 a.m. Monday, Jan. 1, 2018, local time and landed in Honolulu, Hawaii at 10:15 a.m. on Dec. 31, 2017, local time. A website that tracks air traffic was one of the first to notice tweeting, “Time travel is possible!” How cool!!
Time travel is possible!
