I live in a town with an international airport, however, there are no UPS flights going there tonight. O'Hair (2 hours away from me) will be getting a UPS shipment...but the plane departs 10 minutes after my phone will be arriving in Louisville. I would say that there is a very slim chance of my phone being shipped to Chicago tonight.
Got a tip for us?

That means it would be a lot sooner. So do you think a Thursday delivery is still accurate ?
Yes, I did see your explanation. I figured my phone will be flown to me...but like I stated, with my phone arriving about 10 minutes before the next plane leaves, I highly doubt it would make it to that specific flight.
Not all of the UPS flights populate until an hour or so before they leave, so you can't go by that. Also, UPS does this every day millions of times a day. The planes go out after everything else comes in and is processed. Most planes depart Louisville around 4 am for deliveries, so if that plane is departing before the night shift even gets going I imagine it's not going to be the flight that would carry your phone anyhow.
Stop trying to figure what flight your phone is going to be on. A Plane will land in or near your home town with Ups Air packages on it. RELAX DUDE!
The majority of people should have their phones Tuesday, with a few getting them Wednesday at the latest. I'm sure there will be 1 or 2 that get it by Thursday because of human error or something, but definitely most will be out tomorrow.
Ok thanks for answering my question. I have work tomorrow :/ but I'm off Wednesday and Thursday . Can someone sign for me if I'm not home
Everyone is so excited for their phones.. its hard to relax... LAUGHING OUT LOUD I just watched the world port ups center. what a miracle place to route packages through. They have it down to a science. I have way more respect for UPS now that I watched that youtube video. They can move some packages and move them quickly. Its amazing.. how that center runs. 
Sorry to be annoying, I feel alone here .
there is a flight leaving from lousville to hartford-jackson alanta tonight check here http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KSDF/scheduled?;offset=0;order=filed_departuretime;sort=ASC
Yes, as long as there is a signature (hell, if you taught your dog to sign for your packages) the UPS delivery person won't care.
I think security is a little more of a thing with iPhones. I would call the 800 number and see if maybe you need to pre-sign if it gets left with a neighbor or something, unless you have somebody at your home that will be waiting.
