So my friend and I are having this debate. My flight is on Saturday morning 7:40am from Texas and I land in Seoul at 7:15pm on saturday as well or at least thats what the ticket says. the problem is the current time here is 4:15pm Thursday and in Seoul right now its 7:15am on Friday. So reasonable thinking says that if I leave at 8am on saturday here I am actually leaving at 11pm sat Seoul time. I know that when you cross the Dateline that you lose a day but how does this all work so I can win the debate? Much Ablige

7:40am in Texas is 10:40pm in Korea. Unless you're on the ISS, I think your ticket is wrong. I think you'll be arriving Sunday evening.
