I stand corrected. I was using Flightrader and they coded the flight as a return to Seoul instead of a flight to Louisville and it confused me. So I thought they transferred the cargo to another plane. My mistake.
They are still showing the flight as going to Seoul on Flightradar. Makes for an interesting display.
Flight 99 originated in Incheon, South Korea which is consistent with other tracking information received from most people. Flight 109 originated in Japan. I can't see the need for them changing planes so I suspect it is Flight 99 you should be tracking (I got confused on flight #'s myself).
Flt 99 left Anchorage just after 4PM local time, or just over an hour late. Scheduled to be in Louisville just before 2 AM ET (just short of 1.5 hours late).
(I like these tracking tools)
For those that are saying their order is still "processing," try checking the order on your Mac instead of the Apple Store app on your iOS device. On my iPhone 4S it says my new iPhone is "Processing" but on my Mac it says it is "Preparing for shipment."

There is a 3:58 flight from Louisville to Orlando, so my phone might still make it even with the delay! I guess we will see.
If it counts for anything, over the past 30 minutes or so, they've picked up the speed from the 480 kts average to close to 540 kts. Looks like they're trying to make up time.
Thank you for the correction. I'll keep an eye out for updates on Flight 99 then.
I wanted to update everyone as the OP...

We should have used y'all in the hunt for Bin Laden. Lol
I was tracking two different flights (105 and 109) before someone reminded me that there are six flights, all leaving to Louisville from Anchorage at around the same time. Once I figured out how to use the "inbound flight" into on FlightAware, it all made sense.
And there's an app for it too.

Mines is still stuck at Processing Items, ordered at 12:15am PST (Hope to see changes in the next couple days if Foxconn workers will be working.) Has anyone else notice that "T-Mobile Unlocked" is gone when you view your order status?
Hi,
same flight here, also to GER.. Is there a chance for delivery till tomorrow?
Alright, just making sure. Also, I know the T-Mobile version will come unlocked, but I notice AT&T and T-Mobile has diff. part numbers. Is there any difference on the T-Mobile and AT&T 5s? Like more LTE bands? Or are they exactly the same exact phone?
Yeah, that was me. The Zhengzhou flight is actually UPS113, usually. 113 lands in Incheon and I think the phones get split onto several planes there: Apple Online Store orders are moved to UPS99, and retail store/carrier stockpile phones are moved to other planes.
Sure with lot's of good luck and some very industrious UPS guys: HK International -> Dubai -> Cologne Cargo until tonight CET. During CET night transport to some UPS hub in Germany and further on to the UPS delivery base for your area. Out for delivery in the morning.
I would say that is quite unlikely. Expect Friday (because of bank holiday on Thursday).
Mine missed the flight and will spend an extra day in Louisville at the UPS WorldPort awaiting a plane for Las Vegas. So close yet so far.
Mine just left Louisville and will go to Vegas to, so I guess they found a plane.
Schedule delivery is now today 3:00 PM (Before it was the tomorrow by EOD)
Well if UPS doesn't ship the phones, but the factory is still churning them out... all of our phones should be ready to go. Hopefully the phones can leave China by the end of the week.
