You have long wait for your connecting flight and are a spender - good for you. Your fellow passangers are known not to spend much and it's a final destination for most of them - you are destined for a remote stand... | |

| Dec 21, 2015 at 16:08 | comment | added | reirab | @PeterKämpf Sometimes it's that. Other times it's just because they don't have enough gates at a particular terminal. The international terminal at LAX is an example of this. I've deplaned off of a Cathay 777-300ER onto a bus there before. Before the new part of their international terminal opened, they only had 12 gates with jet bridges at their international terminal (despite LAX being #3 in the U.S. for international passengers, at 18.7 million/year.) They were parking A380s, 747s, and 777s at stands and bussing people in. Fortunately, they have a lot more gates with jetways now. | |

| Dec 20, 2015 at 21:07 | comment | added | Jan Hudec | @CGCampbell, I actually think its more on topic here. It is about airline operations, not about travel advice. Though it should probably be reworded to something more generic along the lines "how are gates allocated to flights". | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 21:25 | comment | added | Peter Kämpf | Its the money. Low cost airlines save by avoiding the more expensive jet bridges. | |
