My phone left Louisville, KY @ 4:30pm, according to flightaware my phone is flying over to Orlando and will land in a little over an hour! So excited!
 
All I get are pretzels and Coke (I always fly Delta, but I did fly Frontier this year for a flight down to Atlanta. It wasn't bad despite the awful reviews I read online)

My family flies United, for no particular reason other than our airport is a major hub for them and they are often the cheapest. We had this fantastic flight attendant whom put my nervous flyer of a wife at ease with just the safety announcement. He was quite humorous. So now when we fly she is on a mission to get this guy again.
 
Those of you picking yours up at a UPS hub ... are you usually there to pick it up in the early AM right when they open, or does it sometimes take a little while? I'd like to go before work ideally right at 8 am, but I have no idea if it'll be off the truck and scanned in.
 
Good deal. I don't know how they find those either. It is rather impressive.

Look for the origin to be where your tracking says departed, and then from there, try and deduct the closest destination to where the final destination is (your address)

for example, i live in northeastern ohio. all flights out of kentucky were either going somewhere west, or to one of two places in new york. so i followed both those flights. tracking will update which one it was on when it gets scanned in and says its location. then, i wait until it says departed again, and look for a flight going from that airport to somewhere even closer to me.

none of this is necessary, but its fun.
 
Mine left Louisville at 3:14 PM allegedly, but I don't see an applicable UPS flight! I'm in Georgia so I'd think they're sending it to Hartsfield-Jackson, but you never know.

Provided you have it held now, opposed to waiting for a delivery attempt and then having it held, you should get a status change that it was completed on your tracking info. I can't go until lunch anyways, I will likely be ready by then. I read somewhere on hear a couple of people had lines first thing and some went around noon to no lines. YMMV
 
It's annoying seeing all these flights depart from Louisville and not coming out of Philly yet. It's after 6:06pm on the east coast. Can't we Coatesville folks get some movement? I'm beginning to feel like my phone is a hostage. LOL.

Im wondering if anything heading west is pushed back since you're flying against the clock and essentially gaining time so they can wait a little longer.

That's exactly what I did. There was only one flight coming to FL so I figured that must be the one my phone is on
 
I think I am the only person with the little plane on that FlightAware that the plane is going to Des Moines, Iowa haha :cool:
 
Just found out that UPS only has one scheduled flight out of Philadelphia tonight. This is at 10:08pm to Louisville.

That means us Coatesville hostages will not see movement until then. Then it gets routed out from Louisville after that...

Flightstats.com does not have flights for 9/25 yet but if they are the same as today a whole bunch of flights go in the early hours from both locations.
 
Slight delay or tweaking the delivery schedule because of the Pope. Was by 3pm, now 8pm on Long Island, NY

Estimated delivery :
Fri 9/25/2015 by 8:00 pm
 
Mine left mephis TN at 3:32 PM. It is coming to Raleigh NC so I am guessing it is on a truck and not a plane :)
 
Anybody who lives in CA. Who's package Departed from Newark NJ. This is our flight :) YAY :) last one of the day!!
