Tell the pilot to cross into another time zone so you have an extra hour. Just make sure they don't go the wrong direction.

Nah going backwards will just give an integer overflow so you get essentially infinite time

Just tell the pilot to fly faster and relativity should handle the rest

So fly very slowly?
