Guam is an island in the western Pacific Ocean and an unincorporated territory of the United States. It is located roughly 3,800 miles west of Honolulu, Hawaii. Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, is situated on the island of Oahu in the central Pacific.
Flight UA200 crossing the International Date Line (IDL) will essentially“travel back in time.” While they depart on 1 January, they will land in a location where it is still 2024. For those unfamiliar, the IDL is an imaginary line running through the Pacific Ocean, marking the boundary between regions that observe different calendar dates.
Guam is 19 hours ahead of Honolulu. So, when it's 7:25 AM on New Year's Day in Guam, it's still the evening of the previous day in Honolulu, at 6:25 PM on December 31st. This time difference allows passengers on flight UA200 to experience the New Year twice - first in Guam and then again as they land in Honolulu.
