If I travel from America to Japan at 8:00 am on Oct. 14, 2011 what time and date will it be there?

Question:

I was wondering what time and date it will be in Japan when I travel from America to Japan at 8:00 am on Oct 14 2011.

Answer:

Another very ambiguous question from an ignorant American as always. Nobody can answer this question. Because you failed to specify 1)which airline you use and 2) from which part of the US you are going to take off.

Strictly speaking, each airline has different length of time to fly across the Pacific.
Because some airlines have priority over others to land at airports in Japan.
1) So, you need to specify which airline you are going to use.

Then, you need to know the time difference between the US and Japan.
There are 4 different time zones in the continent of the US. Ex. PST is 17 hours behind JST, and EST is 14 hours behind JST.
2) So, you need to specify from which part of the US you are going to take off.

3) Then, you need to ADD the flying time to the time difference (because Japan time is ahead of those of the US). Then, you can figure out what date and time you will arrive in Japan. Got it?
