@DJ_Rosko How long do you think it would take UPS to load up the phones, re-fule the plane and send it back out? I guess my question is, is there a flight planned out of CGO to Icheon later tonight/tomorrow? PDT here.
If I had to guess I'd say 30 minutes to refuel? Whatever they have on that plane headed to China they'd have to unload it maybe 30 minutes? Reload 30 minutes? Wheels up after spending an hour 30 on the ground, wheels up right after..

That 767 going to CGO now could be back in Incheon in 5-7 hours earliest I’d say with it being a roughly just under two hour flight to CGO. Land, unload*, figure about 90 min to two hours TOPS on the turn cause A it’s a 76 not a 747 and people are experienced at turning those planes out-perhaps the Poster that worked at the worldport tank could elaborate further on turn times for a 767 vs 747 fully loading/unloading. Then 2 hours back to ICN if that’s where it’s off to. So 5-7 hours from now i’d Guess.

(*probably unloading raw parts for iPhone X to take a guess-They wouldn’t send the sucker empty I don’t think)

Edit: I encourage people to not think too hard on time zones. Think more in terms of “plane will be here X hours from NOW” it’s less confusing that way. Earliest that plane could be in ANC is 20 hours with a stop in ICN. 7 hours to ICN, 2 to turn is 9 plus 10-11 to ANC.

My order wasn't meant to come until end of Nov, sorry to burst your bubble.



Just all them today. It seems to be all about FaceID/Emoji thing. There's only so many times you can turn the screen on/off and think 'oh cool'. Once you're in the actual device, it's all the same as previous models. That's just how I see it/

The correct way to answer this is let me get my iPhone X and I'll tell you my review on it!

If memory serves correct it was about 20 minutes give or take to fully load or unload a 747. It is pretty awesome, the deck is automated where the operators move the cargo off the plane using controllers.

The entire shift for next day air is about 4 hours from the first flights arriving to the last ones leaving.

Just what I was looking for kj! So a 767 would be even less then probably. 5-6 hours back to ICN then and then onto ANC (we HOPE!)
