Odd thing. I was updating my screen for the flight to JFK and even though it's delayed, it just updated to a smaller delay that would get it to JFK at 6:54. Not sure if mine is going to be on JFK or Newark flight. Either has happened in the past. Guess I'm staying up to see if my phone gets on that flight.

And departed from Louisville and on the way to Chicago! Should land at O'hare in about 50 minutes. Only about a 20 minute drive to get to the UPS facility here and then onto the truck to get delivered today.

/happy dance

JFK flight just took off st 5:21. Hope my phone got on and isn't waiting until 5:58 to go to Newark. JFK is 20 minutes away. Newark is further and in NJ.
 
Just now:
Louisville, KY, United States 09/24/2016 4:51 A.M. Departure Scan!!!!
That matches up with time flight to Kansas City left. As I predicted, in order to have any chance to get it to me today it would have to go Louisville - Kansas City - Tulsa - OKC. We'll see!!!

It also appears it is same plane on all three flights all the way to OKC!!! This is doable!!!!
 
Doesn't look like my phone made it onto the JFK flight. No uodated scans. The Newark flight is now leaving early like in 2 minutes. Gets in at 7:12 am. Doubt I'll see mine until Monday. Hope the rest of you guys/gals get yours.
[doublepost=1474709571][/doublepost]How long after your flights took off did you see your departure scan show up?

Scans sometimes don't populate real time so scan may show up later. My departure scan showed up about 30 minutes or more after flight departed. It can still happen!!!!
 
Departure scan just showed up at 5:08. Not sure if that is for the JFK flight that took off at 5:22, or for the Newark flight that's scheduled for 5:40 departure. Either way I'm cutting it close with either flight. 6:53 if it got on JFK flight, and 7:08 if it got "pre-scanned for Newark flight.
[doublepost=1474709993][/doublepost]Amazing that some of us are in the air on the final flight of this crazy journey, and the UPS website shows no delivery date and UPS My Choice shows Monday and Apple said at 1am Saturday.

Called UPS because I wanted to know cutoff for delivery. The rep told me that she couldn't promise anything, but usually if the package gets to sorting facility by 10am it can got out for delivery. She couldn't tell me anything else, or even if my package is on the JFK flight, or the Newark one.

The delayed flight to Philly left at 5:18am and I just received a Departure scan for 5:17am. So the update on the UPS tracking was about 30 minutes behind. Niiiiiiice! Getting excited now!

Did you see my post? I found your flight.
 
Checking in. Same as a bunch of you.

Oct-4-10 original delivery date that was updated to September 23rd when it was shipped. Then the UPS craziness of 21, 22, then no info...

Two emails from Apple this morning, one with variables showing instead of info at 10:20pm last night and then at 1:13am this morning saying that it was going to be delivered today (24th)

MyUPS email at 4:18am saying that it is going to be delivered on 9/26 but no shipment date displaying when I look up tracking.

There is a flight leaving from Louisville to Syracuse in the next couple of minutes. If my phone is on that, there is a chance, I suppose, but I don't know what to think.

This whole thing had been crazy and, like many of you, had the dates never changed either from October 4th or the September 23rd, I don't think that I would even have been looking at this thread, much less obsessing over it. :)

Thanks. Flightaware showed the flight taking off at 5:21. So I guess I'm on my way to JFK. Think we might just get our deliveries if everything lines up. If I get an out for delivery notice I'm standing on my terrace and waiting for brown truck. Don't want to miss delivery if it's happening. Lol

I don't see why they'd be busting their butts to get them to our cities this morning if they didn't intend to deliver today. Fingers crossed!!!

Yes. Thank you. I was tracking both flights. I was able to close the browser for the Newark flight thanks to you. Flight is 52 minutes from landing. Wonder if UPS site will ever update a delivery date or if we will have it before that happens.

If you look these are normal flights that fly everyday. I don't think they rerouted planes to make this happen. I just think they did their best once they found our phones. Hopefully they have dried off by now after being at the bottom of the Yellow Sea for 2 days. Don't think Apples waterproof rating is for 2 days at 1000 meters or more. Lol.
