Missouri, United States.

I’m imagining a freight plane just taxiing the runway nonstop out of spite. Lol

Some flew in to East Midlands airport a while ago but I think they come by road now.
Mine came by road - even though East Midlands airport is less than an hour from my house!

It left Cologne at 05:09 and arrived into Stanford Le Hope at 19:13 - and then hit a 24 hour delay due to Brexit.

I've attached my complete tracking below which may give an idea of timings for anyone in the UK waiting for their new toy.

Good to know. Really hope mines not delayed due to Brexit.

Thanks for that.
Wow I was very wrong about an 8 to 9 hour journey from Cologne then :)
So 14 hours then.
I wonder if the Brexit delay was caused by incorrect/incomplete paperwork?

It's getting nearer though :)
Mine lands at Cologne in about 90 minutes I think.

From talking with UPS, the Brexit delay was more that they are swamped with volume due to Brexit and aren't able to process packages as quickly as normal at their depot. I don't think there was anything actually wrong with my parcel, it just got caught up in the mess.

Exciting :). All being well, yours should make the UK tomorrow!

I've been thinking about getting an M1 MBA for the past couple months, especially since my remote work life makes my 2020 MBP fans go insane all day. The M1 MBA suddenly showed up in stock in Apple stores near my area, so I grabbed one. SG/16GB/1T. HOLY SMOKES BATMAN. This machine is an incredible piece kit. The MBA is so incredibly snappy and fast I can't believe it's real. The best part is the QUIET. I love quiet. With ~20 tabs, music playing, notes, email, a few ppt and word documents, my MBA is running at a CPU temperature of....27C. I keep my house at 16C, but this is unbelievable.

I love this M1 MBA; finally a true successor to my (amazing) late 2013 MBP.
