One flight number, six islands

Legs 1–6 all operated under UA154 — a single flight number that boarded in Honolulu and made five intermediate stops across Micronesia before arriving in Guam. The plane didn't change; the stop count did.

The route crossed multiple timezone boundaries as it hopped westward. One quirk worth noting: KWA→KSA (leg 3) departed at 12:40 PM MHT (UTC+12) and arrived at 12:55 PM KOST (UTC+11). The clock reads 15 minutes of travel — it's actually 1 hour and 15 minutes of flying. The westward timezone shift eats an hour off the wall-clock time.

The International Date Line crossing on leg 1 (HNL→MAJ) works the other direction: the clock jumps forward a full day. Departed June 8 in Honolulu, landed June 9 in Majuro — roughly 5 hours in the air, with tomorrow's date waiting on arrival.
