Figured out mine is on a FedEx flight (FDX192) to Newark based on departure time.
Yes, I'm actually watching flight tracker. Yes, I'm a dweeb that way.
Got a tip for us?

Video Review & Battery Test
Hi guys. If anyone's interested, I created both a review video and battery test video for my new Mid-2013 11" MBA. Both videos feature side by side comparison with the equivalent 2012 model.

I must have lucked out...
Ordered the 13" i7/8GB/128GB about 1/2 an hour after the Apple online store reopened after the keynote on Monday. I selected standard free shipping. Apple estimated delivery June 18 - 20. It shipped on Wednesday night, and UPS estimated delivery Monday June 17 by 10:30am. Once it arrived at Anchorage Alaska they updated the ETA to Friday June 17 by 10:30am, and sure enough it was delivered at 10:25am. 94 hours from order to delivery with free shipping.
Oh yeah, I live in the San Francisco East Bay, California.

Mine is still sitting at Louisville so I'm starting to think it's not going anywhere today and probably shipping to SoCal tomorrow (hence the "Saturday delivery") and then actually delivered to me on Monday after all. Hell, It was originally slated for delivery by Thurs 18th, so Monday is pretty good! (hasn't stopped me refreshing the UPS site every half hour!
My status changed once again -- now it's supposed to be delivered Monday morning before 10:30 AM. Darn, if it only caught that early flight out of Louisville yesterday morning, I'd be posting this right now from my new MBA!

I thought mine was going to Memphis, but it arrived in Oakland an hour ago, just a couple hours from me. Hopefully this means it will be here Monday instead of Tuesday.
Our MBA's were on the same flight! I'm in LA so hopefully i will get mine on Monday as well...
I ordered right after the WWDC session, once the store opened again (13/i7/256/8) and got a shipping date between June 12th and 14th. Status was 'processing order'.
Yesterday it changed to 'cancelled, replaced with new product' and I had two equally specced MBAs on my order's page. Today I received an email telling me that there's a problem with my shipment and it will be delayed at least until June 18th. Add 7 days for delivery and I'll get it ... sometimes in the far future.
That sucks. All in all I'll have to wait more than two weeks between placing the order and receiving the MBA. And I'm in Europe, not somewhere in the African desert.

I got the same eMail.
Fortunately i don´t need the MBA in the next few weeks....
It´s just a piece of technology!
Go outside and enjoy your Weekend, don´t think about the delay...
Bought my 13" base with 8GB RAM right after the store went back up after WWDC, and it's in Denmark now (delivered in Denmark too). UPS still says Tuesday, but I guess it will arrive Monday!
Mine is now here in LA but i'll have to wait until Monday for delivery, ho hum.
Ordered a MBA 13 1.5 256gb 8gb ram last night around 11:30pm...got a email 4 hours later that it was shipped and will be at my doorstep on Wednesday !!
Finally ordered my 13" MBA with 256Gb / 8Gb / 1.5 Ghz. Estimated shipping date is 21-25 June so I am praying it arrives on the 21! As its my birthday on the 22.
Went to the Apple Store on Saturday all ready to buy the maxed out MBA but I didn't realise that includes the 512Gb SSD and it was $2,099 AUD.
So I had to resort to an online order.
Patiently waiting like the rest of you....

My ultimate 11" has arrived in anchorage but is on 'Clearance Delay'. The arrival date is still listed as the 19th but I'm not confident I'll see it by then.
I finally did it! Just ordered the MBA 11/i5/8/256. Paid the extra $14 for quicker shipping, estimated to arrive anywhere between June 21-25. I've waited so long to do this, and it feels great. (Though small, it will be my only computer. Been using an 11 inch Dell Inspiron 1121 for the past couple years and anything larger now feels much too big.) After enjoying my iPhone and iPad for quite some time now, this move to the MBA just seems right. Hello OS X.
