As we cross over into 2018, a Hawaiian Airlines flight reminds us that time is actually fake. The flight, HA446, left Auckland, New Zealand at 12:05 am, January 1st, 2018, and will land in Honolulu, Hawaii at 9:45 am on December 31st, 2017. The incredible time traveling flight was pointed out by the flight tracking website Flightradar24’s Twitter account.
This oddity almost didn’t happen–the flight was scheduled to leave at 11:55 pm on Sunday, and took off ten minutes late. Perhaps the flight attendants wanted to have their own toast in one time zone before heading to another…
