I found one. Its a short flight across one time zone, so it doesn't involve several zones.
phx-las during standard time. SWA puts it as 1 hour gate to gate (but no elapsed time), so you must land before take off. It occurs to me one other place you probably could do it. Fly out of western China to someplace nearby. China is all on one time zone, any short hop from a city on the western edge is going to pick up several hours. |

Along those lines, I recall reading about the FA who was trying to explain to a naive passenger how it was possible to arrive before you leave. The FA patiently explained about time zones and the rotation of the earth, however the passenger just wasn't getting it. Finally, the FA said, "we go really fast!" The passenger said, "oh," and returned to combing through the Skymall catalogue for "must haves." :)
I was trying to use the multi-city routing tool on a flight whose first leg was a transpac. The engine would not allow me to specify a departure time for the second flight earlier than the first flight. I was pointing this out as a flaw in the system and they couldn't understand that anything was wrong. |
How about arriving the same time you leave? WN 3316 leaves LBB (Lubbock, TX) at 9:20 a.m. and arrives in ELP (El Paso, TX) at 9:20 a.m.

Pretty much any flight from the western pacific and Asia to HNL does this.
ICN-ORD comes close -- depending on time of year, the flight only takes about 40 minutes!:D |

The new SYD-EZE service which starts this November has a very unusual departure /arrival time;
Qantas Airways Flights 17 Departs: 10:35 Kingsford Smith (SYD) Arrives: 10:35 Ministro Pistarini (EZE) |
I once flew four flights, all of which took off on a Tuesday.
One took off and landed in the morning on Tuesday. The other three took off at night. Of those, one landed on Monday, one on Tuesday, and one on Wednesday. |
Last year I flew SYD-HNL-YVR and landed in YVR at the exact same time and day (to the minute) as we left SYD.
