All flights from Asia to N. America arrive before they left. Every time I go home, flight takes off from ICN at around 4:00 pm and arrives at SFO around 9 am same day. Talk of weird. Going back though, you depart SFO around noon and get to ICN at 5 pm the next day.

further research into SWA50 would show that normal departure out of ELP is 855pm with a 910pm arrival into PHX. for some reason in DAL, the flight took on flightaware shows a pretty heavy delay in DAL, but interesting enough, not on the SWA webpage which shows a minimal to zero delay, hhhmmmm......

In the 70s, I had a customer who had regular cargo shipments to London (from HAM). Flight details was usually etd 07:00 eta 07:30 and he was curious why it took only 30 minutes, We told him it's a Concorde flight, which he bought. He paid good rates as well.

Air Midwest has a flight from CDC to LAS which goes back in time - it's only a 50 minute flight (approx 200 miles) that goes back 1 time zone.
WN has a flight from MAF to ABQ which goes back in time by 10 minutes too. Anything that's a quick jump over a time zone has that potential. Wouldn't a DTW-ORD flight be less than an hour? Perhaps a SLC-RNO would go back in time as well. Depending on the time of year (since Indiana doesn't observe DST) CVG-IND. Also, ATL-BHM comes to mind as another flight that would go back in time.

Indiana now observes DST. But, this makes for about 10-15 minute flights from IND-ORD, assuming no delays of course.

Even better than all of these is CO 2 (actually CS 2) from GUM to HNL; it departs GUM at 0600 and arrives HNL at 1705 the previous day.

There was bad weather in Dallas yesterday.
Here's a flight that goes back in time that is not a result of DST. ATL-VPS flights are very close to the timezone line and very short, so they regularly arrive before they depart. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL1754

Quoting FlySSC (Reply 11): Though not operating anymore, AF & BA Concorde used to arrive in JFK "before" they left CDG or LHR ... :
AF002 CDG.10:30AM ---> JFK. 08:15AM
What would be cool about this is that if you were flying this route at the right time you would see the sun rise in the West because the Concorde traveled faster than the solar terminator.

yeah, basically O'Hare east to a good 250 miles or so, depending on "delays" the arrivals are before the departures.
Indianapolis to St. Louis (American Connection) is often an arrival before scheduled
Louisville to St. Louis (Southwest) is 1 hr. 5 minutes but often pulls in ahead of schedule making it fall under this category
Eternal darkness we all should dread. It's hard to party when you're dead.

Back in the 90's I used to do a lot of ATL-BNA flights on DL. With a flying time of around 30 mins, you would always find yourself in BNA well before you left ATL.

Quoting STLGph (Reply 21): oh yeah, ATL to BHM comes to mind, too
It comes to my mind quite often. 55 minutes gate to gate, so you're spot on.
25 AirTranTUS: Today DL 819 (ATL-TUS) arrived 4 minutes after it left (flight time). I think this could be the longest US domestic flight that could arrive before it
26 Donzilasse: Many years ago I flew from Helsinki at 6PM and landed at ARN at 5:50 PM.
27 CXfirst: That's got to be the winner. Not only does it arrive 12 and 55 minutes before it departs, but you go back a day with still a long night ahead!!!!
28 Jabar: All flights from MIA to CUN arrive 15min. before they left.... (at least the AA ones). It's always nice not to waste any time when you are going on va
29 Norcal773: But it always suck to lose a ton of time when coming back from vacation.
30 ScottB: Actually, MAJ-HNL on CO 956 (CS 956) arrives 17 hours and 30 minutes before it departs, but it departs MAJ at 2000 so the arrival in HNL is on the sa
31 Nzrich: Air NZ flights akl-apw (samoa) Departs AKL at 2200 arrives APW 0155 the same day so you get there 20hr 5 min before you depart ..I did this on my birt
32 CXfirst: seems there's a new winner!!!! -CXfirst
33 Scooter01: Let me know if you find one! It was my best year, Scooter
34 PlymSpotter: Yes, but you would have to travel at many time light-speed to get to it Almost all of the AMS-NWI, -LCY, -LHR, BHX -CWL and BRS flight arrive a few m
