  • Passengers on a flight to Los Angeles were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime journey that seemed to travel back in time
  • Their jetliner departed from Hong Kong on January 1, 2025, and crossed the International Date Line after six hours, reversing the calendar by a day
  • Cathay Pacific Flight 880 touched down at LAX on December 31, 2024, at about 8:30 pm, a day before their departure date

In a journey that appeared to defy the laws of time, Cathay Pacific Flight 880 departed from Hong Kong on January 1, 2025 and landed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on New Year’s Eve 2024.

ABC News reports that the flight took off from Hong Kong International Airport just after midnight on January 1, 2025.

How Cathay Pacific Flight 880 travelled back in time

Traversing the vast Pacific Ocean, the jetliner crossed the International Date Line about halfway through its 12-hour journey.

The crossing reversed the calendar by a day, allowing the plane to arrive in Los Angeles on December 31, 2024.

The flight touched down at LAX shortly before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, approximately 20 minutes ahead of schedule.

Passengers onboard effectively celebrated New Year’s Day twice, a rare temporal experience made possible by the interplay of time zones and international aviation.

Passengers love trans-Pacific flights to travel “back in time”

Passengers arriving at LAX were greeted with the festive hustle of New Year’s Eve celebrations, providing a unique end to their long-haul flight.

New York Post adds that this time-bending phenomenon is a regular occurrence for eastbound transpacific flights.

Over the years, passengers have been known to book eastbound trans-Pacific flights across New Year’s Eve to experience the holiday twice.

It highlights the fascinating quirks of global timekeeping, where a combination of speed, distance, and the International Date Line can seemingly transport passengers “back in time.”

December was dark month for airline industry

The drama-free Cathay Pacific flight gives a new lease of life to an airline industry that had a difficult ending in 2024.

In one of the worst airline disasters in recent times, nearly all 181 onboard Jeju Air Flight 7C 2216 died after it crashed at Muan International Airport in South Korea.

Only two crew members miraculously survived and were rescued from the Boeing 737-800’s tail section.

Cubana Chief Priest’s alleged baby mama, Hellen, has revealed the socialite asked her to keep the child after requesting some money to abort the child.

Helen shared this in a recent interview with content creator Lucky Udu.

According to Helen, she met Cubana Chief Priest in 2022 while attending a friend’s wedding in Nigeria. Their initial encounter reportedly took place at a restaurant, which was followed by a meeting at a hotel where they became intimate.

Helen disclosed that a few weeks later, she discovered she was pregnant. She claimed that Cubana Chief Priest encouraged her to keep the baby.

However, she alleged that after returning to Kenya, following a two-month stay in Nigeria, the socialite blocked her on WhatsApp and cut off communication.

She said, “It all happened in 2022, in April when I visited Nigeria for my friend’s wedding. We went to the restaurant to have some dinner in VI. That was where I met my baby daddy. The first time we talked, we exchanged contacts, and then I went back to my apartment. The second day he called me, and we met at this hotel called intercontinental hotel in Lagos. When we got there, we talked, drank, and I left. I didn’t know he was a prominent person. He told me his name was Pascal Okechukwu, not chief priest. We had intercourse, and after two weeks I felt sick and went for a test and told him about the result…

“I texted him to tell him the result; he called directly and congratulated me. we kept talking he told him he was going to take care of me, I asked him if he was married; he did not tell me he was married; that was what he was trying to skip.

“I came and asked my friend who he was, and she told me his name is Cubana Chief Priest, and he is married with two kids.

and I sent my account number because I wanted to abort the baby because I’m scared due to the fact that I’m a single mom with a son.

“He said there is no problem since I’m not Nigerian; I can go back to Kenya, and we were going to continue to keep in touch. even when I asked him for the money to abort the money, he said I should wait a bit and I should not hurry. I came back to Kanyan in Jane after the baby was two months old.

I did what he told me to keep the child, and when I came back to Kenya, after two weeks this guy blocked me.”

Three men aged between 20 and 22 have been arrested in connection with the grisly m8rder of a 17-year-old girl, Koketso Ramahlo in South Africa.

Koketso’s partially burnt body was discovered in a street near her home in Hammanskraal, Gauteng province on New Year’s Day.

The suspects will appear in court on Tuesday, January 7, to face murder charges, according to SAPS district spokesperson Warrant Officer Marinda Austin.

Koketso’s family is still reeling from the shock, saying they were unsure if she had gone out with her boyfriend on the night of her murder.

Her mother, Nkhenthani Ramahlo, was too distraught to speak to the media but a close family friend Julia Mkhari, spoke on her behalf.

“The pain she is enduring is palpable, and I am deeply affected by it as well,” Mkhari said.

She said Koketso left with her friends on December 31 to celebrate the new year, but she later returned home to change her clothes and went out again.

She never returned home, prompting her family to launch a search on January 2.

The next day, January 3, the teenage girl’s grandmother made the horrific discovery of a lifeless, partially burnt body lying in the street near their home.

The body was later confirmed to be the missing girl, with relatives noting that she was found n@ked.
