flight tracking
I am trying to track a flight from TPE-LAX and can not find a site that is very current (3 hour lag). It is a China Airline/Delta codeshare flight DL7732. Can someone refer me to a site that will be up to date? I have tried FlightStats and flightAware. Thanks!

I found the arrival time at the Delta site. I am trying to find a map that shows the location of the flight. I guess while it is over the ocean none of the sites pick it up. I have used the map tracker at Delta in the past but it does not seem to be available for this particular flight.

The sites you listed, plus the airline's own site, are probably the most up to date that you'll get.
Sometimes when I'm looking at a particular flight, it's a matter of personal interest to monitor the progress. Maybe you'll have to live with the uncertainty until the plane gets close enough to appear on on of the usual tracking sites. If their scheduled arrival is even close to correct, you can probably make a good estimate until then.

Would anyone have an educated guess at how many hours out (before landing) the plane would be in US airspace? Perhaps at that time the map would start to show the flight of the plane? It is due into LAX at 2:05 pm. so maybe by 1:05 it would be in US airspace? I am use to following this trip MSP-TPE and that flight pattern is over land more of the time. I guess it is the over the ocean all of the way that makes this more difficult to monitor.
