Woo hoo! Mine is probably flown out since I'm in west coast, can't wait to get my hands on the new shiny thing in 1-2 days.
We've officially landed in Anchorage. Waiting for a departure scan. Then it's off to Louisville, KY? I'm just glad it's in the states now!
Yep! There is 5 flights going from Anchorage to Louisville. The earliest is in 35 minutes and the latest is an hour and 20 minutes. The flight itself will take almost 6 hours so it will be at least midnight by the time the phone arrives.
5 flights all leaving at around the same time from ANC to Louisville? What are the flight numbers?
That seems really unusual, and illogical...
Same! Got the arrival scan!
I think the UK ones have a different route.
Flight numbers are 61,63,81,99,109.
Usually from what I've seen the two flights with our phones are 99 and 109.
109 leaves in 20 minutes and 99 leaves in 50 minutes.
I'll post links for both flights if you guys wanna track.

Do you know if UPS normally has 5 flights at the same time from ANC to SDF, or is this 'iphone launch' insanity?
I don't know but UPS99 is on it's way while UPS109 which was scheduled to depart earlier has yet to be en route. Weird.
Heisenberg, you're awesome! Thanks!
I guess I am on 99 since it left 20 minutes ago and I have a departure scan at that time. Next stop - Louisville. Getting closer!
Hmm ... mine arrived in South Korea on Friday - hasn't budged!

Maybe they didn't scan? Cus it's still showing its at anchorage right now
Yeah could be. They don't always scan at the exact time they departure. They might wait till the plane lands to scan the package. It will show up as a departure scan at an earlier time even though they will scan it the same time it arrives.
Also the flights were running late so they could have skipped the scanning for every single package.

I'm with u. Been on the same planes as everyone else since China but now at a standstill in Alaska. There's still one plane left but it's an hour late so idk...Hopefully maybe as u stated we just weren't scanned
Edit to say-my two cases arrived today a day early also by UPS. I tell ya Amazon don't play!

Yeah so if it still says on time, they didn't scan the phone and it will be scanned when it lands in Louisville. For 10/31 phone will probably be shipped tomorrow or Wednesday. The Louisville flights (5 of them) land at 1ish AM EST.
