Plane takes off in 2019 and lands in 2021

Passengers on a plane heading from Tokyo to Los Angeles went through a unique experience: they time travelled.

Their flight took off in Tokyo the 31st of december on 23:45 and landed in Los Angeles on January 1st 2021 at 00:04.

It happened when the plane went into a holding pattern above the International Date Line and as a result crossed it twice.

Due to international rules regarding time travel, passengers are now in total quarantine at Los Angeles International Airport until the rest of the world also reaches 2021
