Hate 2016 so much you want to bid it farewell two times? Well we've got the perfect New Year's Eve plan for you.

All you'll need is a few of your closest friends and £151,000 (about $185,000) to spend on a private one-way flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. Piece of cake, right?

This unconventional way to ring in the New Year is being offered by PrivateFly, a global private jet company, that wants to give adventurous travelers the opportunity to travel "back in time" on this special occasion with the perfect private jet itinerary.

In a blog post on PrivateFly's website, the company detailed the one-of-a-kind experience, complete with an exciting itinerary that is sure to leave you majorly jet-lagged.

To maintain your extremely tight schedule you'll experience midnight in Sydney, Australia, then head to Sydney Airport to board a private Gulfstream G650ER -- one of the fastest private jets on the market.

You'll embark on your airborne adventure to Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles, California, which is 19 hours behind.

Since you'll be flying eastwards across the International Date Line, you'll be able to experience New Year's Eve all over again once you land (talk about some intense déjà vu).

Carol Cork, marketing director of PrivateFly, said, "This is the ultimate in luxury ways to see in 2017, in two of the world’s most exciting party cities."

Though a flight time of around 12 hours sounds painfully long, passengers can enjoy a great deal of additional partying in the air thanks to the G650's sweet setup.

The plane seats 14 passengers and features 16 panoramic windows, digital audio and high-definition video equipment and 26-inch widescreen televisions. Travelers will also be offered a selection of fine wines, champagne and bespoke catering as they make their way across time zones to welcome 2017 twice.
