The specific origin and destination locations are irrelevant. The only fact that
matters is in which direction you're traveling when you cross the Date Line.
If towards the west, as when traveling from the Cook Islands to New Zealand,
then you're to add one day to the date on your calendar or your wristwatch.
Thus, your time has suddenly become 24 hours later than it was a moment ago.
In effect, you've 'lost' a day.
During the course of that trip, you cross the Dateline going west. Whenever one crosses the Dateline going west, he leaves the time on his clock unchanged, but he advances his calendar one day. That is, if his calendar reads July 24, he cranks it ahead to July 25.
Traveling from Auckland to Los Angeles, you will turn your watch back 24 hours, andtake the last page you tore off of your calendar and glue it back on, allowing you tolive the same date all over again. You will most likely not make the same mistakesagain, but will have the opportunity to make new ones.
Since the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can head out of Rarotonga in either direction, either east or west, and eventually wind up in Auckland. The trip is quite a bit shorter, though, if you travel westward, and that will take you across the International Date Line. At the moment of crossing the line, the right things to do are to advance your calendar by one day, and turn your clock ahead 24 hours. For example, if it happens to be 3:00 PM on Tuesday, then it becomes 3:00 PM on Wednesday when you cross the line. In reality, there's no need to make the adjustment exactly as you cross the line. Passengers typically make the change when they board the ship or plane, or when they disembark at the end of the trip. As long as you're actually at sea or in the air, it really doesn't matter much what day it is.
The International Date Line affects travelers by causing them to jump forward or backward by a day when crossing it. This can lead to confusion with flight schedules, hotel bookings, and adjusting to local time. Additionally, it can impact work deadlines and communication with others in different time zones.
False. Crossing the International Date Line changes both the date and the hour. When crossing from east to west, you move forward a day, and when crossing from west to east, you move back a day.

NZ002 leaves Auckland at 22:30 and arrives in London Heathrow at 11.00am (1 day later due to crossing the international date line).

You would be crossing the Aegean Sea.
Yes, flying to Puerto Rico is considered an international trip because Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, but it is not a state. This means that traveling to Puerto Rico involves crossing international borders, even though it is a U.S. territory.
Auckland is 22 hours ahead of Rarotonga when New Zealand is on Standard Time and 23 hours ahead during Daylight Saving Time.Daylight Saving Time in New Zealand begins on the last Sunday of September at 02:00 NZST and ends on the first Sunday of April at 03:00 NZDT.
As the twins where being born they were crossing the international date line, one could have been born Sunday and the other Saturday while crossing the International Date Line, going east to west.

No, when traveling from Washington, D.C. to the UK, you do not cross the International Date Line. The International Date Line is located in the Pacific Ocean, primarily between the U.S. and Asia. Instead, you would generally move eastward across time zones, resulting in a time difference of several hours between the two locations, but without crossing the Date Line.
