***UPDATE: Now Nov 6

These are the potentially relevant airports in China. Most likely first airport will be the origin.

(IATA: CGO, ICAO: ZHCC) Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (large Foxconn plant here)
(IATA: PVG, ICAO: ZSPD) Shanghai Pudong International Airport
(IATA: SZX, ICAO: ZGSZ) Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport
(IATA: SHA, ICAO: ZSSS) Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport

Once your tracking information shows a departure scan, match it with the FlightAware site departure times.

As of now, my tracking numbers show label created but no departure scan yet.

Good luck everyone.

Just got this:
ZhengZhou, China 11/02/2017 11:10 P.M. Departure Scan
I did too, but later:

ZhengZhou, China 11/02/2017 11:35 P.M. Arrival Scan
11/02/2017 11:10 P.M. Departure Scan

So it might be bouncing around before the final departure scan to use to check flights.

Mine just did the same thing. I seem to remember it doing something weird like this last year with my 7+ as well.
 
Sounds like all our phones are on the same route, at least to the US!
[doublepost=1509641273][/doublepost]Will be interested to see where they land next. Maybe Incheon? My 7+ last year went from Zhengzhou to there. I'm getting excited, especially since I was originally Nov 17-24. This is the first year I won't get it on launch day.

I recall Incheon also, but I think some flights went through Anchorage.

It is possible that the actual departure is 11:10 PM and that the 11:35 PM arrival was some kind of glitch. Also, not sure if the instructions on the site to exactly match the departure scan time with the flight departure time is 100% accurate. Will probably see if a later departure time posts and then compare with flights. Not an exact science.

Yay another thread for me to obsessively refresh! :D
That's what it's all about. Multiple places to obsess. It's all about choices. LOL
 
Mine is with all of yours too! I am thrilled to be getting it earlier than Nov 17-24 but I am leaving to the airport at 10:00 AM on Monday and my UPS info says it is arriving at my house between 10:45 AM and 2:45 AM. That means it will be sitting at my house (with my husband and kids, not out on my porch) in the box until I come home Friday afternoon!!!! What are the chances of a Sunday delivery???? JK

If ISIS even thinks about touching this plane.......

I'll be packing up my floaties, snorkel, flippers, Uncrustables and two Capri Suns and joining Seal Team Six.
Don't give em any ideas. They might also be waiting for the iPhone X. I think we're safe for now. They're into trucks and vans these days.
