Here's to hoping we make it to anchorage in the next few hours. That's the only way I see our phones making it to our doors tomorrow. Anyone know of any flights leaving Inheon to Anchorage ?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah according to flight aware shows could be a 25min departure delay. Hopefully that doesn't stop us or gets us stuck anymore..
Kinda been messy I wonder if everyone else will go through the same delays stuck china etc
The flight arrives in Anchorage much later today, and get to Louisville by by about 3am, connects to your local hub by 6am typically, and then is out for delivery tomorrow.
That's definitely possible Louisville is only like a 2 1/2 hour drive from me. Hoping for no delays then.
Tracking just updated. Departed HK in UPS63 at 7:33PM HKT (4:33AM PT) and will arrive in Anchorage at 12:28PM AKT. Then there are flights departing Anchorage starting at 2:43PM AKT
Wow, well that sucks. Mine is STILL in Korea. Yesterday another batch headed out to Alaska; and this morning it sounds like some with phones in China yesterday are already bound for Alaska?
I've been in Korea for ~36hrs.

That's not how it works at all. The phone ships tied to your account, when you turn it on it activates and deactivates your old phone.
We were due for some magic. I'm looking forward to coming home tonight! 
For everyone seeing arrival scans in Louisville last night direct from China or Korea don't get too excited. I think it was some kind of glitch in the system. I had an arrival scan at Louisville at 2:19 am after a departure scan from Korea just two hours before. Shortly after there was an arrival scan in Hong Kong, and now I have a departure scan from HK at 7:13 pm which matches the departure of flight UPS63 to Anchorage. I'm pretty sure the Louisville scan was bogus and my phone is just now getting underway to Anchorage after doing the Asia shuffle for the last three days. Went from ZhengZhou to Incheon to Hong Kong before headed across the Pacific.
Did anyone else get an unexpected arrival scan in Hong Kong after being scanned in at Louisville? I was hoping the Hong Kong scan was an error, but it has now departed from there at 7:13PM local. WTF!

Now HONG KONG? Seriously UPS what the hell?
According to these tracking times, in the last 4 hours my phone has been in Korea, Louisville and Hong Kong. Has UPS developed some sort of magical transporter technology? I think the system is seriously jacked up with all these iPhone shipments.
Yes, but their targeting scanners are on the fritz, obviously....
Same here, some people however are seeing phones appear in Louisville directly from Zhengzhou. If that isn't a glitch, then UPS may be adding some additional lift capacity on other cargo airlines that we're not seeing. Hopefully that happens to us.
Lucky!!!
When I got the update with the arrival scan into Louisville at the same time as you did, I was so excited. Thought the end was in sight and the phone would be delivered this afternoon. Instead, it's just now leaving Hong Kong, if that is to be believed.
They need to try narrowing the annular confinement beam with a phased Tachyon pulse.Yes, but their targeting scanners are on the fritz, obviously....
Mine was stuck in China, randomly showed up in Louisville early this morning, and now is on truck for delivery. So everything we thought we know might be weird the next couple days, but it's a GOOD weird! Good luck everyone!!
Plenty although you'd have to go some pages back.
That said, I don't know if that's been predominantly Apple Upgrade, ATT Next, Verizon, etc.
I'm in the 10/18 -10/31 boat and have been in processing since order confirmation...
