United Airlines 'Time Travel' Flight Delay Disappoints Passengers

Passengers missed the chance to celebrate New Year's Eve twice due to a six-hour delay on a special United Airlines flight.

United Airlines Flight 200, originally scheduled to depart Guam on January 1, 2024, and land in Honolulu on December 31, 2023, was delayed by over six hours, causing passengers to miss the opportunity to celebrate New Year's Eve twice.
The flight was promoted as a unique opportunity to 'time travel' by crossing the International Date Line, but due to the delay, passengers landed in Hawaii just after the start of the new year.
Passengers expressed their disappointment on social media, with many stating they had planned their vacations around this unique flight.
United Airlines responded to some of the complaints and offered rebooking assistance.
The delay appears to have been caused by a maintenance issue with the plane in San Francisco, which led to subsequent delays for its trips.
