“I told the captain that we’re going to end up having a couple of New Years onboard, because everybody wants to celebrate in their time zone,” Matty Hawkins, a United Airlines flight attendant, said of a Washington Dulles-to-Sacramento flight on the last day of 2008. “It was a party that ended up lasting four hours.”
