I am sure many would say its not possible for a flight to take off on the 1st of January, 2018 and land on the 31st of December, 2017.
Kindly read this post and see!
A United Airlines flight traveled through time as it took off on 1st January 2018 and landed on 31st December 2017.
A United Airlines flight UA890 departed from Shanghai on 1st January 2018 and landed in San Francisco on 31st December 2017.
The total flight duration from San Francisco, CA to Shanghai, China is 12 hours, 50 minutes.
This assumes an average flight speed for a commercial airliner of 500 mph, which is equivalent to 805 km/h or 434 knots. It also adds an extra 30 minutes for take-off and landing. The exact time may vary depending on wind speed.
The passengers of the flight got the opportunity to celebrate New Year twice due to the phenomenon.
it should be noted the first of January 1 is the one time they can fly back to the previous year, allowing passengers to celebrate the New Year twice within 24 hour
Wishing you a Happy New year!
