The Beginning of the End confirmed that the Oceanic Six have time-traveled.
Mike Walton, Ana-Lucia's former partner, asks Hurley if "maybe he met her on the plane." Hurley hedges by shaking his head but answers Walton's question accurately; he didn't not meet her on the plane. We've seen that Hurley is a master at concealing the truth when he is scared or it suits his purposes; in "Everybody Hates Hugo" he went the entire day with his best friend not mentioning he had won the lottery. But he had trouble with this particular lie, it is clearly upsetting him to deny knowing Ana-Lucia. So he must not to be able to tell Walton; the logical conclusion being that it appears no one is aware of the Oceanic Six's time spent on the island.
Speaking of that time...
We are at over 80 days of the Losties inhabiting the island. It should be sometime around Christmas in the world they left behind. Now, of course, Hurley's flash-forward could have been anytime during the year. But who is going to believe that six people survived floating around the ocean /together/ for 80 days? See where I am going? Somehow, they must have been incorporated back into that world in a conceivable time-span for surviving not only a plane crash, but a very extended bath.
