Given all the cancellations and delays lately I couldn't help but share this nugget


“You only live once, but you can celebrate New Year’s Eve twice!” the airline wrote on social media, adding that “time travel is real” on their Instagram post.

But it was not to be, with the flight being delayed over 6 hours to leave at 2pm, meaning it would arrive past 1am on New Year’s Day.

The final flight left at 1:49pm, arriving at 12:34am, just after the New Year started.
