When you go across international date line from east to west do you lose or gain a day?

if you take off in New Zealand and fly over the international date line and land in Hawaii you fly into yesterday gaining about 16 to 18 hours depending on time of year. And, of course, if you fly in the opposite direction you lose a day. If you travel from west to east across the date line, the next day will be the same day you just lived through. For example, If you crossed the date line on a Wednesday, the next day will be Wednesday again. But if you are traveling from east to west across the date line, and you cross on a Tuesday, than the next day will be Thursday, skipping Wednesday altogether.
