I come close to landing next year on DL 497 on the 31st. If it's delayed by an hour I might just land in 2018.
Anyone else on a NYE flight?

Not this year... but left LAX late on 31st and landed in CVG early on the 1st. Showed up at Embassy Suites at 7:30am and they had room ready. Lobby was trashed... but I was fine.

I'm on the LAX-DTW red eye on new years eve. And depending on how quickly we reach Mountain time zone, I might get to celebrate zero times (depart LAX 11:15 pm)

LOL! Years ago I was on a flight with a group of partyers as mentioned above and every time we hit New Years in a different time zone, the group went crazy and woke everyone on the plane up with their antics.

A number of years ago I flew LHR-KWI departing 12/31 arriving 1/1. There were only a hand full of people on the plane, but since this was in the middle of the Iraq war, the purser said the belly was full of "toys for our boys in the Gulf".
I don't recall any mention of the new year except one of the FAs wore the 2008 glasses as we deplaned.

But normally the 7pm flight is wheelchair light.
