Crossing the International Date Line

[westview1]

Hi All!

 

I'm hoping that someone can help me. We will be on the Carnival Spirit when she arrives in Sydney from Honolulu. We are spending a few days in Sydney and then flying back to Honolulu. My question is, if we have a flight that leaves Sydney on Monday at 9:00 pm and arrives in Honolulu at 10:00 am, would that be arriving on Monday or Tuesday? I think it is Monday since we cross the international date line, but we want to be sure. We are planning to stay in Hawaii for a few days before heading back home and want to make hotel reservations.

 

Thank you for all your help! :)

Thank you! We originally thought Monday but then were told Tuesday, so we were doubting ourselves. :o

I agree with that. :)

Yep, definitely Monday. We're going the opposite direction (flying from Australia to Honolulu to go on the same cruise) and leave Melbourne at 7:30pm on a Saturday and arrive in Honolulu at 7am on Saturday. :)

It's going from the US to Australia where you lose a day. :confused: We leave LAX at 10 pm on a Wednesday and get to Sydney at 7 am on Friday - a 14 hour flight.

 

But then we get home just a few hours after we leave Sydney. The whole idea makes my brain hurt. :)

Thanks everyone, we "knew" we had it figured out but like sparky-elpaso, we were having a hard time getting our heads around the thought. :) Having never traveled over the date line we want to make sure we got it right.

Thanks, see you on the cruise. :D

You will in fact, be flying in a DeLorean (time machine) and landing in Honoulu before you left.

Fun!!!

Make the most of the bonus hours!
