I'm heading to Sacramento!!! I actually work right by the Mather hub and will be able to see the plane land around 4:30pm....pretty cool. Wish I could call and pick it up early. Knowing it'll be like a mile away will kill me!!!

I'm in Reno and was hoping my phone would be on this flight or one to Oakland but it's still sitting in Kentucky according to UPS/iShip :mad:
 
I'm in Greenville, SC and my phone departed Louisville at 3:15. Anyone know what flight it's on?
 
There is another flight from KY to Orlando at 5:41PM. Either one works for me haha

I don't remember seeing that flight before. I wonder if they added because the 4:26 PM plane filled up. They could just have a stock of planes there and be filling them up and one when for a particular destination fills up, they start a new one. That's a funny thought although I am sure a gross simplification of the logistics process.

Well, the only thing I can say to anyone who's phone hasn't moved in the past few hours... give up all hope, you'll never get it now, Apple has a strict policy, if it's not on it's way to you by 5pm EST, it must be destroyed.

I am sorry. :(

YAY! Departure scan at 4:08 PM. I guess I am on the 4:26 plane!

You guys are funny with the flight times and stuff.. lol... This thread is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!

I'll be the first to admit that its pathetic, but I credit it to:

A) Boredom at work
B) Fascination with being able to track a single box to a specific location on Earth from any computer.

any one else here from queens, NY?


BTW for anyone trying to get an iphone 4S go to radio shack today if you but $50 down they will hold the phone for you tomorrow, remmeebr the $50 will go towards the actual iphone, pass it on for those who are stuck with the 21-28 day shipping fiasco. i just did it for my borthers phone since ATT canceled my order by mistake (whatever that means)...pass it on!!!
 
No flights showing up for SC. Same for me here in NC, so I think that they are coming via ground to us.

I'm in Columbia, my new MBP battery came today and it stopped over in Greensboro and Charlotte, maybe it'll catch a flight over to one of those stops...8.5 hours in a truck from Louisville to Columbia
 
Mine shows departed at 3:59 KY time.

Haven't checked flights to LA so assuming its on it's way here

----------

Must be flight 2920. Took off at 4:11
 
I'm in Atlanta and my departure scan of 2:08pm out of Kentucky makes a decent match to a flight to Des Moines, Iowa that departed at 2:07pm and landed already. lol! I doubt it'd head that direction so I assume it was just scanned early and will be on one of these Florida flights and get trucked/flown north to GA. Or, could it possibly be trucked directly from Kentucky (only Tennessee between us)? :confused:

Hmmm. Either way, it's been a fun ride reading this forum.

EDIT: Interesting. On iship, my 'In Transit to' scan says the city of my local hub in GA, not FL or something else in between.

Not really. They have a schedule of flights they publish well in advance (30 days). Since they knew this rush was coming, they may have scheduled a couple extra flights, but that's it. Holiday time they really beef things up. But commercial carries (people or freight) don't just leave on the whim. Good ole air traffic management :)

I get more tracking info from Yahoo (http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/advisor/business-tools/ups-tracking/) then from the UPS site. All though I don't see any flights to San Diego, it must be coming through Oakland or Long Beach.
