We're coming home from our Christmas break on a red-eye that gets in at 12:15 January 1--15 minutes into the new year. A co-workers is suddenly very concerned, she says its bad luck to travel at times like that.

 

She says its not superstition, just that more accidents happen at holiday times. I've flown on New Years before (although never had the year change in the air before) but I can't believe she's right. Anyone?

If the plane arrives fifteen minutes past midnight on the New Year, that means she will be 15 minutes late all year ! Valentine's will bump into Easter.  Easter will crash into the 4th of July early.  The 4th of July will slam into Christmas, and before she knows it, 2015 will be all done.  Oh, no !

Yes, the co-workers are jealous.  When you return, unless you bring really good swag, they will not want to hear one word about your trip.  Spoil sports.

 

The best strategy is to pick out of the ordinary destinations.   When I tell them where I am going and the response is " Where ???  What ?  Where is that ? ", I know that I am on the right track.
