for example, you start your plane travel at 8:00AM. You are there at 9:00AM but you have traveled 10 hours. Where has gone that 9 hours? or you have passed the 'stargate'?

In theory, you do travel in time, but in the sense you are speaking of.
In theory...
anytime a person is moving, time is moving slower for the moving person relative to a person who is stationary.
Think about a light clock (a beam of light bouncing between two mirrors...doesn't really matter how long it takes for the light to travel to the other mirror and back, just that it takes a period of time to do so).
If the light clock is not moving, the beam of light moves up and down. If the light clock is moving and you are stationary, the light clock appears to travel in an upside down "V". The distance the light travels in one revolution changes nd becomes longer, thus taking more time.
Think of about a right triangle and the equation "a^2 + b^2 = c^2" where b would be the original distance traveled by the light beam when the clock was not moving, a is the distance the clock moved along the x-axis, and c would be 1/2 the new distance travelled by the light beam during one revolution with the clock moving.
Interesting theory

We all travel in timne constantly.
But the 'time' that you mention is merely an artificial way of keeping the motion of the Sun at about the same number.
I, personally, think that we should all live on GMT and if that means that the Sun comes up at 2100 where you live (which would be somewhere in the Western Pacific) then that's the time that the sun comes up.

Traveling across timezones certainly does feel like time travel. I flew from NYC to Oakland and when I got there it was about 3 in the morning NY time but it was only midnight Oakland time. The world was still bustling a little bit and it felt like I had traveled back in time. It was cool.

The short version, yes. However the travel you describe is relative to the Earth and it's rotation, ergo, it's time. You still spent 10 real hours in flight.

not at all. they dudes in the plane crossed the meridien in the opposit direction. suppose u r in delhi and ur going to calcutta. there will be a difference of around 3 hrs but but as india has uniform standard time, the date and time wont change. furthermore these timezones are only for the sake of convenience and is arbitrary.

The important question is to travel ON TIME not IN TIME !

you're able to desire to verify with a trip agent. each and every each and every now and then shipment ships take some passengers. of direction you're able to desire to "island hop" and wreck that long flight into numerous shorter journeys...west coast to Hawaii, then to Guam, then to Okinawa....etc. refer to a trip agent. it would nonetheless be various sitting, yet you could ask.

When you return that time will be given back to you
