Oh yeah, that's true when the plane is at a distance from the terminal. But it's just irritating when the plane is parked right there, even more at airports that are practically dead.
For example, Baroda airport: it's doorway - flower bed - plane. That's it. The plane is literally within spitting distance!
I understand somewhat the reasoning, but it's still silly to walk 20 metres to get on a bus that will drive 30 metres, when you could have just walked 10 metres.
